Two people died in a separate wildfire on 1 July in the Catalonia region, where Tarragona is located. In the south of France, a wildfire that reached the outskirts of Marseille injured 110 people and locals have been warned that while the fire has been contained for now, it remains a concern.

French and Spanish firefighters battled blazes that burned through thousands of acres for a second day. The fires followed a heat wave that dried out the terrain, creating fuel for wildfires, according to weather agencies and experts.
