French firefigher dies in wildfire in Savoie region, minister says

Wildfires have been raging across southern Europe, including France, forcing thousands to evacuate their homes. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez expressed sorrow over the death of a 22-year-old volunteer firefighter from SDIS 73 who died while battling a forest fire in Savoie. Heatwaves in May and June have dried out large areas, increasing vulnerability to fires. Temperatures are expected to reach 40°C in southwest France soon. The European Commission has deployed 777 firefighters from 14 countries to high-risk regions. Portugal and France activated the EU Civil Protection Mechanism due to simultaneous wildfires affecting thousands of hectares. The Trevillach wildfire in Pyrenees-Orientales has scorched 4,900 hectares but has not advanced overnight, allowing some villagers to return home.
