In the waning days of July, fire has once again reminded southwestern France of its ancient authority over the land. Near Bordeaux, spreading wildfires have compelled some 220,000 people to abandon their homes and routines, setting in motion one of the largest evacuations the region has witnessed in living memory. Firefighters labor across multiple burning zones in conditions that resist easy resolution, while entire communities wait at a distance, uncertain when the familiar rhythms of their lives might resume.
