French authorities evacuated 4,000 more people from Atlantic coast tourist sites as heat threatens wildfire control west of Bordeaux. A wildfire in Gironde, four times the size of Paris, has forced 220,000 evacuations in France and 330,000 across France and Spain, with Spain facing its largest recorded blaze. Rising temperatures and dry conditions risk reigniting fires despite stabilization efforts.
