More than 300,000 people are leaving their homes because of huge wildfires in France and Spain. These fires are very big and dangerous. Many people need places to sleep and food because they cannot stay in their houses. Governments in both countries are working hard to stop the fires, but the weather is very hot and difficult.
In France, the fires are very bad in the Southwest. The fires in the Gironde and Landes areas are so strong that they create their own weather. The heat makes strange winds and whirlwinds. These winds make it very hard for firefighters to get close to the fire. In France, more than 167,000 people have already left their homes. Many people are running away from the area near Bordeaux because of the smoke and heat.
In Spain, the situation is also very serious. For the first time, Spain has declared a national emergency. This means the fires are bigger than ever before. In the Madrid and รvila regions, about 60,000 people had to leave their homes to stay safe. Sadly, one man died in a fire in the town of Manises. The Prime Minister of Spain said that the next few hours will be very difficult.
The weather is making the problem worse. It is very hot and there is not much water in the air. The smoke is also a problem for people's health. In Madrid, the smoke is thick, so doctors are worried about people's breathing. Firefighters are working day and night to protect homes and lives in both countries.
