Good [music] evening everyone. I'm Lindseay Davis in for David. We begin tonight with the wildfires exploding and burning out of control in Europe. 
Incredibly, nearly 200,000 people forced to evacuate homes in southern France and central Spain. 
Hundreds of firefighters battling flames on the ground and in the air. 
Video shows a reporter in front of her camera when a gas canister exploded, injuring a firefighter. 
The wildfires fueled by backto back heat waves straining emergency services. 
Marcus Moore leads us off 
>> tonight. Nearly 200,000 people evacuating parts of France and Spain, fleeing out of control wildfires consuming dozens of square miles. 
Huge plumes of smoke darkening the sky over southwest France's beaches popular with American tourists. 
Whipping winds and a historic heatwave in part fueling the flames. 
Homes in this neighborhood burned to the ground. 
>> One resident saying he, his wife, and son battled the flames throughout the night, able to protect four houses. 
>> Across the border in central Spain, authorities racing to evacuate this care home as flames burned nearby, assisting the most vulnerable. People using walkers and wheelchairs. 
This gas canister igniting behind a French reporter as she prepared to appear on the news. 
Flames shooting into the sky. 
Authorities declaring a state of emergency as the flames spread. 
They say dozens of firefighters have been injured battling the blaze, but so far no deaths reported. 
And Lindsay, the French interior minister calling these fires unprecedented and far worse than the wildfires that burned there in 2022. 
>> the scale of these fires just staggering. Marcus, thank you.
