As wildfires continue to engulf massive stretches of western France and central Spain, some 200,000 people have been forced to flee, with flames devouring forests and homes near Bordeaux and Madrid.
Firefighters have said that the blazes, the largest recorded in both countries in recent years, are so massive that they cannot be tackled head on.
On France's Atlantic coast, 44,000 people were removed from the Cap Ferret peninsula, many by boat.
Towns near Bordeaux, the famed winemaking town popular with tourists, were evacuated "as a precaution" as strong winds fueled approaching flames.
On Saturday morning, regional authorities further ordered the evacuation of three of the city's western suburbs "to ensure residents' safety."
