LEGE-CAP FERRET, France (AP) \u2014 France gave the go-ahead Thursday for 84,000 evacuees forced out by a monster wildfire<\/a> to return to home, the strongest sign yet that firefighters are turning a corner in a grueling battle against the flames that have burned an area four times the size of Paris. But blazes flared elsewhere across Europe and actor George Clooney said he’d evacuated<\/a> his French home because of a nearby wildfire.<\/p>\n

Europe is sweltering under an exceptionally hot<\/a> and arid summer, creating tinderbox conditions<\/a> for unprecedented fires that have flared from the Atlantic coast to the eastern Mediterranean and forced hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate homes and vacation spots.<\/p>\n
