French authorities ordered nearly 4,000 more people to evacuate tourist sites near Lacanau on the Atlantic coast on Tuesday as a resurgent heatwave threatened firefighters' hold on a vast wildfire west of Bordeaux, bringing the total evacuated from Gironde to well over 250,000.

The Gironde wildfire has burned roughly 42,000 hectares — an area four times the size of Paris — and French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez described it as very likely the largest civilian evacuation operation carried out in France outside of wartime.
