## Resource

A 22-year-old volunteer firefighter lost his life battling a wildfire in the French Alps, as southern Europe reels from devastating fires forcing thousands from their homes. Extreme heatwaves have dried vast areas, with temperatures forecast to hit 40°C, fueling the crisis. The EU has mobilized nearly 800 firefighters from 14 nations, with France and Portugal activating emergency protocols. One blaze in the Pyrenees has burned 5,000 hectares, halting briefly but still uncontained, as officials warn the danger remains acute across the region.
