Wildfires are continuing to burn in south-west France and several parts of Spain, prompting large-scale evacuations and emergency measures. The fires threaten homes, tourism areas and public safety, while putting pressure on firefighters and transport routes during severe weather conditions.

French authorities ordered the evacuation of the Cap Ferret peninsula near Bordeaux, with hundreds leaving by boat and tens of thousands being moved from nearby tourist areas in Gironde after days of fires. In Spain, the government declared a national emergency as uncontrolled wildfires affected several regions.
