More than 200,000 people have either fled their homes or been ordered to stay indoors as large wildfires spread across parts of France and Spain. The Spanish government declared a national emergency due to the blazes. In southwestern France, authorities ordered the total evacuation of the Cap Ferret peninsula, a popular holiday area on the Atlantic coast. The evacuation was carried out village by village, using both land and sea routes. Officials described the fire there as intense and highly unpredictable. It has already destroyed more than 19,000 hectares of forest. The fires come during a period of extreme heat and dry conditions in the region. No casualties have been reported so far. Both countries are using firefighting aircraft and ground crews to try to control the flames. The situation remains serious, and authorities are urging people to follow evacuation orders and stay safe.
