Burning Out of Control: Europe's Fading Firewalls As French wildfires continue to ravage southern France and spread into Spain, climate change and human neglect have created a perfect storm for catastrophic fires.
Over 300,000 people have been forced to flee their homes, prompting Emmanuel Macron's emergency meeting on Monday.
The scale of the disaster is breathtaking: in France alone, 42,000 hectares have burned, while another 77,000 hectares have been affected in Spain.
