Firefighters' efforts to contain France's biggest wildfire in almost 80 years dragged on into a third day on Thursday (August 7), which has so far ravaged over 37,000 acres in Aude, an area larger than Paris.
The fire has claimed one life in Saint-Laurent-de-la-Cabrerisse, destroyed at least 25 homes, and displaced residents and tourists.
Prime Minister Francois Bayrou called the situation unprecedented as he visited the area:
"It was very important for us to be there because the disaster is one of unprecedented scale. It was very important because hundreds, thousands of people feel that their most precious possessions, their homes, their vineyards, have been affected."
More than 700 active wildfires burning across Canada and about two-thirds are currently out-of-control
Billowing smoke from hundreds of out-of-control wildfires - most of which are in the Canadian Prairies - have caused severe air quality alerts across Canada and the United States.
Detroit, Michigan, and the Canadian cities of Montreal and Toronto, recorded some of the worst air quality in the world on Monday, according to a ranking by IQAir, a Swiss air quality technology company.
More than 700 active wildfires are currently burning across Canada and about two-thirds of them are now out-of-control, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC), a non-profit organization that is owned by government agencies.
One brush fire, in British Columbia, was reportedly caused when an osprey dropped a fish on to a power line, sparking a small blaze which was later extinguished.
But most of the current fires that are causing the poor, smoggy air quality and reduced visibility are connected to warmer-than-average temperatures, drought conditions, decreased levels of snowpack and low soil moisture, according to Natural Resources Canada.
A wildfire killed at least 10 forest workers and rescuers on Wednesday who were battling to douse the flames near Eskişehir in western Turkey, authorities said.
The agriculture minister, İbrahim Yumakli, said the fire killed five forest workers and five rescuers. Local lawmaker Nebi Hatipoğlu and news website BirGün had earlier said 11 had died.
High temperatures and strong winds have fanned the wildfire between Istanbul and the capital Ankara since Tuesday morning, with the spread threatening homes and forcing the evacuation of several villages.
The victims were wrongfooted when the flames suddenly changed direction, causing them to be "burned alive", according to BirGün.

The situation this week has been so severe that Manitoba was forced to call upon the Canadian Armed Forces to rescue residents from several communities.
Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew on Friday requested more equipment and personnel from international jurisdictions, including helicopters from the United States and Colombia. The province has already been receiving firefighters from New Brunswick, Alberta, B.C. and Prince Edward Island.
"We are doing everything that we can to preserve life," Mr. Kinew told reporters in Winnipeg, where the vast majority of more than 17,000 evacuees are being housed in arenas and soccer fields converted into shelters.

The fires broke out on Wednesday along the main highway connecting Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, spreading quickly due to the heat and strong winds.
The key highway and several other roads in the area were shut down, with people in at least ten communities forced to evacuate from what witnesses described as "walls of flame."
More than 160 firefighting teams and 12 aircraft were deployed to contain the wildfires.
On Wednesday evening, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that "we are now in a national emergency, not just a local one," adding that "defending Jerusalem" was a priority.
I do believe that there will be a clash between East and West. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the systems of exploitation. I believe that there will be that kind of clash, but I don't think that it will be based upon the color of the skin.
