French Fires Are Under Control But Heat Wave Set to Intensify
Firefighters say they've made progress containing France's worst wildfires in more than seven decades, with light rain providing a chance to contain the blazes before temperatures rise again in the coming days.
The deadly fires, which ignited Tuesday in the southern region of Aude, have burned more than 160 square kilometers (62 square miles), an area bigger than Paris. One person has died and at least 18 people have been injured, French authorities said.
