Some 2,700 People Forced to Evacuate Due to Major Wildfire in Southeastern France

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Around 2,700 people, including residents and tourists, have been evacuated due to a fire in the commune of Martigues in France’s southeastern Bouches-du-Rhone department, the regional fire and rescue service reported.

​The fire broke on Tuesday evening and to date has ravaged nearly 2,500 acres of forest between the Martigues commune and the Mediterranean coast.

At the moment, the fire has been localised, but the firefighting services are still trying to completely extinguish the flames, as lesser winds are expected on Wednesday.
