More than 200,000 people flee wildfires in France and Spain

Large forest fires burned out of control in south-western France and central Spain on Friday, prompting authorities to evacuate an estimated 200,000 people from their homes.

Dozens of firefighters were injured, authorities said, but no deaths were reported in either country.

Some 141,000 fled homes in the Gironde and Landes departments in France, the Interior Ministry said.

In central Spain, 60,000 were forced from their homes, the Spanish Interior Ministry said.
