Fires in France: the mega-light remains "stabilized" on Thursday morning, the weather is "favorable"

The article reports on the status of a large forest fire in southwestern France, specifically in the Gironde department. After temperatures exceeding 40°C on Wednesday fueled the blaze, cooler conditions on Thursday morning led to the lifting of the heatwave alert (orange canicule). The fire remains 'stable' according to local authorities, who expect favorable weather with potential light rain along the coast. Six active fires are reported, primarily near Lège-Cap-Ferret and south of Lacanau. Authorities note that operations focus on managing the fire’s edges and active spots, which could take several days. The prefect, Sophie Brocas, expressed cautious optimism about returning to normalcy for evacuated residents, while Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez is set to update on the situation at a central crisis management center.
