Gironde wildfire contained but firefighters still face danger
A massive wildfire in France's Gironde region near Bordeaux has burned 42,000 hectares of pine forest and tourist areas — four times the size of Paris — forcing thousands from their homes. The fire has not spread for several days and officials are cautiously optimistic about containment. However, more than 230 firefighters have been injured, and the toll continues to rise as crews work to extinguish remaining hot spots.
