LEGE-CAP FERRET, France (AP) — French authorities ordered nearly 4,000 more people to evacuate Tuesday from tourist sites on the Atlantic coast as returning heat threatened firefighters’ fragile hold on a vast wildfire west of Bordeaux. The blaze in the Gironde region has burned an area four times the size of Paris and forced 220,000 people to evacuate.
A large wildfire can be snuffed out by rolling out a carpet of foam on the ground. Dropping water or chemicals from helicopters is not likely to work.
