FRANCE WILDFIRE: 84,000 Evacuees Return as Gironde Blaze Still Smolders | Times Now World

French firefighters, assisted by local residents and volunteers, continued battling persistent underground hotspots in southwestern France on Thursday as the massive Gironde wildfire remained active despite cooler temperatures and improved weather conditions. Authorities allowed about 84,000 evacuated residents to return home after crews gained greater control of the blaze, which has scorched an area roughly four times the size of Paris. Residents reported that hidden fires were spreading beneath tree roots and repeatedly reigniting days after flames were thought extinguished, while prolonged drought conditions and unusually dry vegetation raised concerns about the growing impact of climate change on wildfire risks across the region. #francewildfire, #girondefire, #forestfire, #wildfire, #breakingnews, #france, #firefighters, #climatechange, #europewildfire, #wildfireupdate, #frenchfirefighters, #environment, #naturaldisaster, #globalwarming, #evacuation, #disasternews, #forestfires, #gironde, #weathernews, #worldnews In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesnow.world Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
