Firefighters are struggling to contain the flames, which stretch kilometres, leading volunteers, including local farmers, to help all they can. Convoys of tractors were spotted driving through towns on Sunday towing huge water tankers in an effort to reinforce the fire crews heroically battling the blaze, injuring 75 and killing two. One farmer was pictured wearing personal protective equipment as they prepared to drive into the inferno to reinforce crews with water. Some 2,500 firefighters, 1,500 military personnel and around 1,200 police have been deployed to the Gironde region.
