A vast wildfire in southwest France has been held back by firefighters, who kept the blaze from advancing overnight. The fire, which has been burning since last week, remained stabilized after a calm night. The burned area covers 420 square kilometers, with several flare-ups detected and controlled by firefighters near the Atlantic coast.

The areas affected are west of Bordeaux, where crews have been battling the blaze. Further details on the wildfire and the efforts to contain it are available from the source, including updates on the situation and the challenges faced by firefighters as heat and drier air return to the region.
