(an hour ago)The somewhat lower temperatures and the worst wind in France have helped firefight efforts against a forest fire involving 2,500 hectares in the southeastern War department.
The fire has damaged dozens of homes and forced about 400 residents to evacuate, local authorities announced.
At 7: 00 a.m., helicopters continued to pour water on the fires in Var, since the flames have not yet been controlled.
The situation was very serious. About 1,100 firefighters fought the flames all night", said William Vogl, commander and spokesman of Vari's fire service, for RMC radio.
He added that the fire has not yet been extinguished, but it is expected that wind conditions during Wednesday will be more favourable for intervention.
Another great fire was burning in the high Alps, southeast France, in the picturesque department located in the Provena region - Alpe-Bregu of the Blue. /Periscope/
