Firefighters are struggling to contain a wildfire in southwestern France as strong winds push toward the city of Bordeaux, an official said.
In France and Spain, more than 250,000 people have fled the fires that have been raging for days. Overnight, residents of seven towns west of Bordeaux were told to evacuate.
In Spain, where a state of emergency has been declared, the weather has helped firefighters outside Madrid.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez admitted there were “complex times ahead”. Meanwhile, authorities in Valencia have confirmed that one person has died in a fire.
The man, believed to be in his 70s, was found dead in his truck by firefighters fighting a fire in the Sal de la Aigua gorge in Manises, local media reported.
About 200,000 people have been evacuated in the Gironde and Landes regions in southwestern France.
France mobilized its troops to help with the response and additional reinforcements were sent from the army to help firefighters clear brush and create firebreaks.
