French President Emmanuel Macron convened a crisis cabinet meeting on Monday to address massive wildfires burning near Bordeaux, which have forced more than 250,000 people to evacuate their homes. The blazes, described as "monster" fires, have been spreading fiercely amid a heatwave, though authorities reported a glimmer of hope as the spread of the largest fire may have slowed. The situation remains stable for now, but another heatwave is forecast, raising concerns of further escalation. Macron's meeting aimed to coordinate emergency response and resources to combat the fires, which have devastated large areas of woodland and prompted widespread evacuations in southwestern France. Firefighters continue to battle the flames, with support from water-bombing aircraft and reinforcements from other regions. Officials urged residents to remain vigilant and follow evacuation orders. The fires are among the worst to hit France in recent years, exacerbated by dry conditions and high temperatures.
