## Caption

Around 12,000 people have been evacuated from the south-west of France as the country battles ongoing wildfires days after two firefighters died near Bordeaux airport, French media have reported.
 
The Gironde region government said more than 2,400 hectares (5,900 acres) of land have been destroyed.
 
The use of internal combustion and electric engines have been banned in predominantly forested areas, and a number of roads have been closed. No injuries have been reported on Thursday.
