Uncontrolled wildfires on the Cap Ferret peninsula in France forced the evacuation of about 20,000 people, including tourists. A family from Hamburg camping in a motorhome had to leave their site at night, abandoning some belongings. The fires have burned 8,700 hectares and are believed to have been started by a roadside mowing vehicle. The French president has requested EU assistance.
