‘Never-seen-before’ wildfire closing in on Bordeaux, France | BBC News
People in Bordeaux, France, are growing fearful as a major wildfire closes in on the city. The fire has also created its own storm, forming a pyrocumulonimbus cloud, or “fire cloud”.
Wildfires have raged across Europe over the past week, primarily in France and Spain, where more than 330,000 people have been evacuated across both countries.
The UK government has not specifically warned against travel to anywhere in France or Spain, but it does advise caution.
