@dailymail: More than 300,000 people fled wildfires sweeping across France and Spain as intensifying blazes triggered fresh evacuations and prompted authorities to warn of a 'difficult night'. Wildfires ‌have burnt more land in Europe this year than the annual average in the past two decades, data shows, as the world's fastest-warming continent has endured three stifling, virtually back-to-back heatwaves this year. Three major blazes in the vicinity of Madrid prompted authorities to declare the country's first national wildfire emergency. #wildfire #spain #france #europe
