A wildfire in Le Porge, in France’s Gironde region in the southwest, destroys at least 170 homes, according to reports. As the fire damage is assessed and recovery begins, residents and local people remain vigilant against reignition. They spray water on smouldering forest embers to cool hot spots and reduce the risk of the blaze starting again.

The reports describe efforts by residents to manage lingering heat and prevent flare-ups while the community responds to the damage. The accounts focus on the immediate post-fire period, highlighting both the scale of destruction—170 homes at a minimum—and the ongoing work required to secure the area.
