Wildfires force thousands to flee in southern France amid summer heat

  • Wildfires broke out across parts of southern France this week, forcing the evacuation of more than 3,000 people — many of them holidaymakers at Mediterranean campsites — as hot, dry and windy conditions fueled the flames.
  • Firefighters backed by water-bombing aircraft brought some blazes under control, but authorities warned the danger was not over.
