Forest fire in France's Var region destroys 2,000 hectares
A forest fire that broke out in the Var region in southeastern France has turned approximately 2,000 hectares to ash. Firefighting teams have been dispatched to the area to bring the blaze under control.
A massive forest fire that started last night in the Var region of southeastern France has destroyed approximately 2,000 hectares. Local media sources reported that over 150 firefighters and dozens of vehicles were deployed to the area to fight the flames.
Firefighting efforts continue, with 1,800 hectares reported burned so far. The Var region is facing flames once again after fires in July that affected about 6,000 hectares.
Although fires in the Gironde and Aude regions of France have been brought under control, warnings of a 'high' fire risk remain in place across 36 areas nationwide. The country is experiencing one of its largest fire seasons on record.
This year, a total of 117,000 hectares have been reduced to ash by fires in France, and four firefighters have lost their lives. In connection with fire‑related crimes, 375 people have been taken into custody.
