French firefighters battle the forest blaze in Gironde heatwave

Description

As they struggle to contain two fires which have burnt over 2,800 hectares of forest in Gironde, in the southwest of France, firefighters worry there is worse to come. "The weather forecast tomorrow says there will be a heatwave, which will make it easier for the fire to spread", says the department's fire and rescue service's director Marc Vermeulen.
