France and Spain are racing to contain large wildfires burning across several regions before a new heatwave intensifies the situation. Thousands of firefighters, aircraft, and emergency teams have been deployed to control the fast-spreading blazes, which have forced evacuations, destroyed forests, and threatened homes. Authorities warn that soaring temperatures, dry conditions, and strong winds could fuel further outbreaks in the coming days. Residents in affected areas have been urged to follow evacuation orders and avoid fire-prone zones. The fires highlight the growing impact of extreme weather and climate change across southern Europe during summer. (PC: EPA)
