Fourth heatwave of summer hits France and Spain amid wildfire fears

France and Spain are bracing for the fourth heatwave of the summer, with temperatures expected to reach the low 40s Celsius, just as wildfires in Gironde and the Madrid region were nearly under control. Gironde prefect Sophie Brocas said the fire remained contained overnight, with several flare-ups quickly brought under control. Authorities in both countries fear the high temperatures could reverse progress made in fighting the blazes.
