Episode Details

Over 220,000 people in southwest France are fleeing as a wildfire—four times the size of Paris—rages out of control, fueled by extreme heat and dry forests linked to climate change. Firestorms spawn lightning, igniting new blazes overnight, forcing chaotic evacuations. Some towns are gone; others are emptied as a precaution. Families like Morgane Bonichot’s scramble to save pets and children, ending up in Bordeaux shelters housing thousands. Crews battle flare-ups around the clock, but no one is allowed back home until the fire is fully contained. As Europe sees similar disasters, scientists warn these extreme fires may become the new normal.
