Wildfires that broke out simultaneously in France and Spain are spreading, forcing over 300,000 people to evacuate. In the Gironde region of France, 420 square kilometers, an area four times the size of Paris, is on fire, threatening the wine-producing region of Bordeaux. Strong winds are making it difficult to extinguish the fires, and France is deploying firefighters and firefighting aircraft to suppress the blazes. In Spain, wildfires have broken out in several regions, including Madrid, forcing over 60,000 people to evacuate. A wildfire fatality has been reported in Valencia. The Spanish government is mobilizing the military to fight the wildfires.
