About 1,400 firefighters have been deployed in France's southern Aude region to prevent the country's largest wildfire in decades from reigniting

Prime Minister François Bayrou described the nearly 40,000-acre fire, which has killed one person, as a “catastrophe on an unprecedented scale.”

Officials warn the fire could reignite amid a forecasted heatwave, with 1,000 people still unable to return home and over 1,300 homes without power.View on euronews
