Along the sun-scorched landscapes of southwestern Europe, fire has once again asserted itself as a force beyond human schedule or convenience. In France and Spain, wildfires ignited by dry heat and relentless wind have grown into a continental emergency, displacing thousands of families who had little warning before the flames reached their doorsteps. The crisis speaks to something larger than a single season's misfortune — a pattern of intensifying fire conditions that is reshaping what it means to live in this part of the world.
