France is battling multiple large-scale wildfires, prompting a request for assistance from European allies. President Macron announced that Croatia, Portugal, Czech Republic, and Slovakia are sending firefighting reinforcements, including aircraft and helicopters. Over 20,000 people have been evacuated, particularly in the Bordeaux region where 4,800 hectares of land have been destroyed, and near Biscarrosse where over 1,000 hectares have burned. Tragically, two firefighters have died while battling the blaze near Bordeaux. Another significant fire is burning in the Var department, having already consumed 2,500 hectares. High temperatures, reaching 39 degrees Celsius, are exacerbating the situation and hindering firefighting efforts, with 800 firefighters deployed alongside aerial support.
