Along the Garonne River in southwestern France, the ancient city of Bordeaux finds itself in the path of wildfires that have forced thousands from their homes in the summer of 2026. What began as scattered blazes in drought-parched forests has merged into an advancing front, compelling authorities to order evacuations before the flames could make the choice for them. This moment belongs to a longer story — one in which a warming climate is redrawing the boundaries between where humans have long chosen to live and where fire now insists on going.
