Almost 3,000 flee as wildfires hit southern France
Around 3,000 individuals had to leave their homes as forest fires broke out across southern France in the wake of a historic heatwave. Emergency crews utilized water-dropping helicopters and mobilized hundreds of firefighters to contain the infernos, which were intensified by powerful winds. Officials have cautioned that these premature fires, combined with an upcoming period of high temperatures next week, may elevate the danger even further.
