A devastating wildfire is raging through southern Franceâs Aude department, leaving one woman dead, nine peopleâincluding firefightersâinjured, and entire communities in peril. The blaze has already consumed up to 12,000 hectaresâan area larger than Parisâdamaging or destroying 25 homes. Hundreds of firefighters are engaged in a relentless battle, backed by water-dropping aircraft, as strong winds, scorching heat, and bone-dry vegetation fuel the inferno. Prime Minister François Bayrou is due to visit the scene, while President Macron has mobilized all national resources, urging utmost caution.
Officials warn the fire is far from contained and will require days of sustained effort to control. Evacuations are underway, roads are closed, and smoke-choked airdays linger over the region. As France grapples with yet another brutal blaze during its drought-stricken summer, the human, environmental, and economic stakes continue to riseâin what experts say is just the beginning of a catastrophic fire season.
