Wildfires in France and Spain force over 300,000 to evacuate as heatwave returns

Massive wildfires across southwestern France and Spain have forced more than 300,000 people from their homes, making them some of Europe's largest fires in decades. A new heatwave pushing temperatures above 40°C (104°F) threatens to worsen the crisis. In France's Bordeaux region, more than 200,000 were evacuated over the weekend. Spain allowed some residents to return to Madrid-area communities as fires stabilized, but blazes in Castellón remain active. Firefighters from multiple countries are assisting in containment efforts.
