The wildfires also impacted tourists, with a British couple being found badly burned and semi-conscious in a ravine after being caught while hiking. The landscape in affected areas, such as the village of Bédar, has been described as charred and desolate, with remnants of the fire, like molten car parts, visible. The rapid spread of the fires through the province highlights the severity of the recent events and their immediate impact on both the local population and visitors to the region.
