France, Spain and Greece battled major wildfires on Thursday as soaring temperatures, parched vegetation and powerful winds extended a summer of deadly fires, mass evacuations and mounting disruption across Europe. In southwestern France, authorities said the fires near Bordeaux had not spread overnight, with the area burnt holding at 42,000 hectares. Meteo France warned in its latest bulletin on Wednesday afternoon that the highest ​danger of wildfires was now centred on southeastern France and the Mediterranean arc. Wildfires in France have now burned more land than in any year since 2006.
