A wildfire burning in southern France led to widespread evacuations and destroyed several homes, according to the latest update from the Gironde Prefecture.

Nearly 6,000 people were set to be evacuated from across the Gironde region, from the sector of Belin-Beliet and the town of Belin due to the Landiras Fire, the Prefecture said.
