Wildfire Forces 200 Evacuations Near Lake Garda in Italy

Along the western shore of Lake Garda, one of Italy's most beloved landscapes, a wildfire has driven at least 200 people from their homes in the municipality of Tignale. It is a reminder that the places humans cherish most — those where nature and civilization meet in beauty — are also the places most vulnerable when nature asserts its own force. In the dry heat of August, when the land holds little moisture and the winds carry fire like a message, the work of containment becomes both urgent and uncertain.
