French firefighters continue to combat a major wildfire near Bordeaux through the night, facing difficult conditions without aerial assistance due to poor visibility. With Canadair aircraft grounded, ground teams and local residents are working together to protect homes and forests. Many community members have stayed behind to defend their properties, using available tools and resources. The intense heat and dry weather hinder containment efforts, but firefighters are operating in shifts to maintain progress.
The French government has dispatched reinforcements from other regions to support the response. Priority remains on safeguarding lives and vital infrastructure. As morning approaches, improved weather conditions—cooler temperatures and higher humidity—are expected to assist firefighting operations. The situation remains critical, but the coordinated effort reflects strong community resilience.
