Massive forest fires raging across southwestern France and central Spain have forced more than 200,000 people from their homes.

A blaze near Cap Ferret, located just 37 miles from Bordeaux on France’s Atlantic coast, has consumed some 48 square miles since Wednesday and has placed the this area, known for its stunning landscapes and upmarket resorts, under severe threat.

In Spain, the government declared a national emergency for wildfires for the first time as blazes in Madrid and the nearby province of Ávila prompted the evacuation from towns west of the capital.

Dozens of firefighters have been injured, authorities said, but no deaths were reported in either France or Spain.
