A major wildfire in France remains stabilized, though authorities warn of a critical situation as a heatwave and strong winds threaten to reignite it in the Gironde region. Sixteen departments, including Gironde and Landes, are under orange alert for extreme heat. While fires in Var and Landes are contained, new blazes are currently burning in Haute-Corse and Hautes-Alpes. The combination of high temperatures and wind poses a significant risk of the Gironde fire escalating again. Firefighters continue to monitor and combat the ongoing fires across the country. The situation is particularly concerning given the ongoing heatwave gripping France. Further spread is feared if conditions do not improve.
