France and Spain are racing to contain wildfires amid a heat wave that has temperatures soaring up to 42 degrees Celsius — that’s up to 107 degrees Fahrenheit. More than 360,000 people have been evacuated so far. On Tuesday, French authorities evacuated 4,000 more people from tourist sites along its Atlantic coast. It’s the largest peacetime evacuation in France’s history. Earlier this month, 13 people died in a blaze in southern Spain. This is a resident of El Tiemblo, Spain.

Jose Romero: “This has affected my heart because I have had heart surgery. That is how it has affected me. I’ve had to bear the rest, bottle my emotions and keep on going. I have to help my neighbors.”
