Fire reignites in Fontainebleau forest as investigation continues

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from France 24 [en]

First the storms, now the fires. President Emmanuel Macron has described the blazes in the Fontainebleau Forest as some of the worst since the end of World War II. The president visited the scene to show his support for the 950 firefighters still working to extinguish the flare-ups. Meanwhile, the investigation is moving quickly: two workers and their company manager appeared before a judge today to face charges.
