French authorities report the Gironde wildfire remains “stabilized,” though isolated flare-ups were swiftly addressed overnight near Arcachon. A dangerous combination of dry winds and temperatures exceeding 40°C (104°F) pose a significant threat of reigniting the massive blaze. Sixteen departments, including Gironde and Landes, are under orange heatwave alert. While fires in Var and Landes are contained, ongoing wildfires are being battled in Haute-Corse and Hautes-Alpes. The situation remains critical as the heatwave exacerbates fire risk across the country. Continued vigilance and rapid response are crucial to prevent further escalation. Conditions are expected to remain challenging for firefighters in the coming days.
