Wildfires are spreading across France and Spain, forcing thousands of people to evacuate as emergency crews battle fast-moving flames. Authorities are warning that extreme weather and rising temperatures are making destructive fires more frequent across Europe.
In France, residents have been evacuated from areas including the Cap Ferret peninsula, while the government has requested European Union support for aerial firefighting operations. In Spain, wildfires near Madrid have triggered a national emergency, with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez calling for political unity and urgent action on climate change.
Evacuees describe the speed and intensity of the fires as flames threatened homes and communities. Scientists say Europe is warming faster than the global average, increasing the risk of more frequent and severe wildfire seasons.
