Authorities in France have evacuated some suburbs of Bordeaux as a massive wildfire shifted toward the city. The prefect of the Gironde region ordered the evacuation in the early hours of Saturday, covering parts of three of the city’s western suburbs, including its airport. Gironde region prefect Sophie Brocas said on Friday night that strong winds from the west were pushing the fire closer to the Bordeaux metropolitan area and that it had grown to “an unprecedented magnitude”. Reinforcements in firefighters, of course, reinforcements in military personnel, reinforcements in healthcare workers, reinforcements in experts. On Friday, French interior minister Laurent Nunez described it as “a large, self-sustaining fire that is extremely difficult to bring under control”.
