## Caption

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.⁣
