- In France, flames have burned through an area roughly four times the size of Paris and are now just nine miles outside the the country’s sixth-largest city of Bordeaux with no sign of slowing down.
- In central Spain, three separate fronts remained active in the mountains northwest of Madrid in the provinces of Madrid, Toledo and Avila.
