Tell us: have you been affected by the wildfires in southern Europe?

Wildfires have forced thousands of people to evacuate across France, Spain, Portugal, Greece and other parts of southern Europe. We would like to hear how the fires have impacted you
Wildfires are continuing to burn across southern Europe after weeks of extreme heat, forcing thousands of people to leave their homes and disrupting communities across the region.
We would like to hear from people who have been affected. Have you had to evacuate your home? How are you coping? Are you living with smoke, poor air quality or the threat of evacuation? We would like to hear about your experiences.
Though we’d like to hear from you, your safety and security are most important. When recording or sharing your content with us, please put your welfare and the welfare of others first. Extreme weather events can be very unpredictable and carry very real risks.
