Firefighters spray water along the edge of a forest during a wildfire near the town of Lege-Cap-Ferret, southwestern France on July 25, 2026. Fires are raging on July 25, 2026 in France and Spain, with nearly 260,000 people evacuated near the big French city of Bordeaux and in the Madrid region, a metropolis confronted with the "worst" fire in its history. Scientists have long warned that climate change caused by human use of fossil fuels will make periods of drought more intense and longer-lasting, creating the ideal conditions for wildfires.
