Efforts continue as a wildfire forced the evacuation of another 55,000 people in southwest France on Sunday, with a total of 220,000 now out of their homes.
France sent a hulking military cargo plane to dump tons of flame retardants as it battled raging wildfires on Saturday and slashed the final stage of Tour de France to redeploy security personnel to the blazes that forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes. The latest wildfires in southern Europe this week have displaced more than 250,000 people, including some 70,000 people who were evacuated in central Spain.
