It was a 'challenging day' for firefighters battling a huge blaze in France.

The wildfire that burned in the southern Aude department through 16000 hectares in 48 hours before being contained on 7 August, stands out for its exceptional scale and speed of propagation.

The fire is the worst in at least 50 years on the French Mediterranean coast, according to the French Government Forest Fire Database.

Spanish firefighters praised for saving historic Córdoba cathedral.

Firefighters were being praised for rapidly containing a fire a day after it threatened to destroy a historic mosque-turned-cathedral in the Spanish city of Córdoba.

The blaze, which broke out on Friday, was captured on video and widely shared on social media, evoking memories of the 2019 fire that almost razed France's Notre-Dame cathedral to the ground.
