A massive wildfire in southwestern France, having scorched over 42,000 hectares of pine forest west of Bordeaux, remains a high-stakes battle as firefighters brace for a dangerous heatwave and dry winds that could reignite flames. With hundreds of homes destroyed and businesses shuttered near the city, the blaze—already surpassing last year’s record—faces a critical test as temperatures soar to 42°C. Though crews managed to contain the main fire overnight, officials warn Wednesday could be even tougher. Meanwhile, some residents south of the zone are cautiously returning home after a smaller fire near Biscarrosse was put out. This blaze is part of an unprecedented European wildfire season, underscoring the growing challenge of extreme weather.
