Wildfire Crisis in Europe: Massive wildfires in southwestern France and central Spain have triggered evacuations on an unprecedented scale, with authorities reporting about 200,000 people forced to flee homes near Madrid and Bordeaux, including Cap Ferret, where some residents escaped by boat; firefighters reported injuries but no deaths. EU Firefighting Support: Spain has asked the EU for help as blazes merge and spread under extreme heat and wind, and Brussels has mobilized four Canadair planes—two from Greece and two from Italy—arriving Saturday to boost aerial firefighting. Spain Declares National Emergency: Spain’s interior minister placed Madrid and Ávila under a national emergency, shifting overall command to the military emergency unit and ordering evacuations from multiple towns and even a campsite. Greece Fire Pressure: Back home, Greece’s climate crisis and civil protection authorities reported 51 rural and forest fires in the past 24 hours, with Central Macedonia hit hardest and resources stretched across simultaneous incidents. Greek Weather Watch: The Hellenic National Meteorological Service issued warnings for heavy rain, lightning, and possible local hail, with flash-flood risk in parts of the country.
