France’s largest wildfire in decades is brought under control, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu says. The fire, which flares up more than a week ago in a pine forest near Bordeaux in southwestern France, is described by officials as being in a “more stable situation” in that area. Lecornu says that, overall, the fires are now “under control” across the country, echoing earlier comments from Interior Minister Laurent Nunez. The Local reports that the minister leading the response says the blaze is contained more than a week after it started, making it the largest wildfire France has faced since 1949. The reporting aligns on the timing of the outbreak—over a week prior—and the initial location near Bordeaux in a pine forest. While the sources characterize the situation as stabilized and contained, the statements do not provide detailed figures on burned area, casualties, or the status of remaining hotspots beyond describing the overall situation as under control.
