法国西南部吉伦特省正经历一场严峻的野火考验。自上周在Saumos附近爆发以来，这场大火已烧毁420平方公里的面积，迫使22万人撤离家园[1]。消防员和军事工程师在周二夜间取得进展，成功阻止火势蔓延并扑灭了多处复燃点[1]。邻近的朗德地区也发生野火，超过3万人被迫撤离，法国总统马克龙已于周一晚间宣布该地火灾已被控制[1]。
官员对局势保持谨慎态度。消防部门已建立103公里长的防火隔离带以遏制火情[1]，但警告指出即将到来的高温和干燥空气可能再次引发火情[1]。在持续的救灾行动中，已有93名消防员在灭火过程中受伤[1]。
A massive wildfire in France's southwestern Gironde region has burned across 420 square kilometers since erupting near Saumos last week, prompting the evacuation of 220,000 people from the affected area.[1] Firefighters made headway on Tuesday night by containing the fire's spread and extinguishing multiple hotspots, but officials cautioned that incoming high temperatures and dry conditions threaten to reignite the blaze.[1] The effort has left 93 firefighters injured during the containment operation.[1]
Authorities have established a firebreak spanning 103 kilometers to shield surrounding communities from the advancing flames.[1] A neighboring fire in the Landes region forced the evacuation of more than 30,000 additional residents, though President Emmanuel Macron declared that fire under control on Monday evening.[1] As crews work to secure the perimeter, the return of heat and drought conditions poses a critical test to their ongoing containment efforts.[1]
