What happened
Wildfires in France and Spain have forced more than 250,000 people from their homes, including about 197,000 in France and 70,000 in central Spain. France deployed an A400M military cargo aircraft to drop flame retardant on a blaze advancing near Bordeaux, where evacuations included suburbs of the wine-region city and the Cap Ferret peninsula. French authorities shortened the Tour de France’s final stage from 133 kilometers to 89 kilometers to redeploy security personnel. Spain declared a national emergency as its fires caused at least one death.
