Wildfires drive 250,000 people from their homes, creep toward Bordeaux

LEGE-CAP FERRET (AP): A raging wildfire in southwest France forced the evacuation of 55,000 people overnight Sunday, bringing the total forced out of their homes to a staggering 220,000 in one region alone, as flames crept ever closer to the wine region city of Bordeaux. Neighbouring Spain oversaw its own fire evacuations on the country’s east coast.
