France's Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez says that 110,000 people have been evacuated as the wildfires have burned over 14,000 hectares (34,600 acres) in south-west France.
"We have never seen a convective fire of this magnitude," Nuñez tells French broadcaster TF1, explaining that around 50 firefighters have been injured today.

Nuñez explains that firefighters have been left exhausted and that they will be reinforced by military resources to "combat this completely unprecedented situation".
He describes how the fire is "self-sustaining" and changes direction, explaining that it is heading east towards the Bordeaux metropolitan area.
Nuñez adds that Bordeaux airport is currently closed and European countries have responded to France's calls for help.
Earlier, we heard that more than 44,000 had been evacuated from the area.
The evacuations across France and Spain now total 135,000, according to the latest figures from both countries.

Madrid regional government tells residents to stay indoors to avoid exposure to smoke
Madrid's regional government says the wildfires are affecting air quality in the areas around the city, warning residents that they could be exposed to the effects of smoke.
In a notice on the Comunidad de Madrid website, it says special attention should be paid to vulnerable people, including children, elderly residents, pregnant women and people with respiratory or cardiovascular diseases.
It advises people to close doors, windows and all ventilation in their homes, to prevent smoke from entering, adding that people should avoid going outside unless it's absolutely necessary.
