✦AI Summary
Severe wildfires in France and Spain have forced over 250,000 people to evacuate their homes as emergency services struggle to contain the blazes. The situation has become so critical that the final stage of the Tour de France has been shortened to allow security personnel to assist in firefighting efforts.
France sent a hulking military cargo plane to dump tonnes of flame retardants as it battled raging wildfires on Saturday (July 25, 2026) and slashed the final stage of the Tour de France to redeploy security personnel to the blazes that forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes.
