00:02Europe's wildfire emergency is not over yet, and now the weather is threatening to make things worse.
00:09France has issued new heat warnings in the same southwestern region where firefighters are still battling a massive wildfire near
00:16Bordeaux.
00:17President Emmanuel Macron has called it France's worst wildfire crisis since World War II.
00:23The fire in the Gironde region has burned more than 100,000 acres, about four times the size of Paris,
00:30and destroyed more than 240 homes.
00:33Officials say the fire has stabilized, but it is not yet contained.
00:37Spain is facing a similar fight. More than 63,000 people have evacuated from areas near Madrid, Toledo, and Avila.
00:45Officials say the fire near Avila has become the largest wildfire in Spain's recorded history.
00:50In eastern Spain, firefighters are also contending with unexploded ordnance left behind from the Spanish Civil War.
00:59There's little relief in the forecast. France is expecting more hot, dry weather with no significant rain,
01:06while parts of Spain could see temperatures top 104 degrees.
01:10Officials in both countries warn it could take months to fully bring these fires under control.
