Spain has declared a national emergency and France has drafted in the army as firefighters struggle to contain the infernos

Spain has seen an estimated 500 square miles already burned this year, over four times the amount of terrain that was burned through the first half of 2025.

The Spanish government is overseeing firefighting amid multiple blazes. The PM has urged a multiparty pact on tackling climate change.

Forest fires across Europe have already forced at least 200,000 people to flee for safety. The number of evacuations is expected to rise.
