Wildfires Ravage Spain, France and Italy, Killing Three Firefighters The devastating wildfires that have ravaged southern Europe in recent weeks have left a trail of destruction, claiming the lives of three firefighters and forcing thousands to flee their homes.
In Italy alone, over 160 fires are still raging, with more than 4,600 people evacuated in France. This is not an isolated incident, nor is it solely the result of an unusual heatwave.
Scientists have been warning about the increased likelihood and severity of such events due to human induced climate change for years.
