Wildfires trigger mass evacuations across France and Spain

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

Large wildfires in the forests of southwest France have gone out of control, forcing authorities to evacuate people on a massive scale, and similar fires are now spreading rapidly in Spain, including Valencia on the eastern coast and areas west of Madrid.
According to the report, more than 400,000 people have been moved to safety across southwest Europe, with the fires posing a major threat to properties as well as animals and livestock.
Scientists say the fires, which began last week, have intensified because of 'pyrocumulonimbus' or fire clouds, which make it nearly impossible for firefighters to bring the blaze under control, and the report links the phenomenon to climate change.
Experts are alarmed because such fire clouds were earlier seen only in Australia and North America, and their appearance in Europe is being described as a worrying new development.

Whether firefighters are able to gain control over the fires in southwest France and Spain despite the fire clouds.
The scale of further evacuations, particularly in Valencia and western Madrid areas.
Whether pyrocumulonimbus cloud events continue to appear in Europe, which the report says is a new and concerning trend.
