Firefighters Fight France's Largest Wildfire Amid Heat

A big fire happened in the south of France. About 1,400 firemen helped to stop the fire. People can now go back to their houses in Aude.

The fire started earlier this week in a forest. It burned over 160 square kilometers of land. Now, all the roads are open, but people cannot go into the forest.

One person died because of the fire. Twenty-five people were hurt, including firemen. Firemen are still working hard to put out the fire completely.

It will be very hot in the next few days. This will make it harder for the firemen. The fire may not be gone for many weeks because of hot spots.

There is also a fire in Spain, near Madrid. Firemen are working to control this fire too. Southern Europe has had many fires this summer because of hot weather.
