In the vineyards and pine forests of southwestern France, fire has become the measure of a season gone to extremes. Nearly 200,000 people have been displaced from the Bordeaux region as wildfires consume close to 98,000 hectares — a landscape of homes, farms, and memory reduced to ash and uncertainty. France, its own resources overwhelmed, has reached beyond its borders for help, a gesture that speaks to both the scale of the crisis and the growing reality that some disasters exceed any single nation's capacity to bear alone.
