Firefighters on August 1, 2026 had managed to stem the advance of a fast-moving blaze in the southeast of France, as the country's largest wildfire in more than 70 years remained contained but not yet under control in the southwest. France has for weeks been battling wildfires after a series of deadly heatwaves that have dried up riverbeds and vegetation, in extreme weather events scientists have linked to human-made climate change.
