France has deployed a A400M military aircraft to drop flame retardant over wildfires in Gironde, as crews fought to stop flames reaching Bordeaux, 30km away. ⁣ ⁣ Winds threatened to push the fire closer; soldiers joined firefighters and 1.5 million face masks were rushed to residents.⁣ ⁣ Wildfires across southern Europe have displaced over 250,000 people this week, including 70,000 in central Spain, where one man has died — the region's first fatality.⁣ ⁣ #France #Bordeaux #Wildfires #Spain #Gironde #Europe #plane #aircraft
