The wildfire that burned in the southern Aude department through 16000 hectares in 48 hours before being contained on 7 August, stands out for its exceptional scale and speed of propagation.

The fire is the worst in at least 50 years on the French Mediterranean coast, according to the French Government Forest Fire Database.

Wildfires continue to burn across Lapland

Recent #thunderstorms have also sparked several #fires across the dry landscape, rescue officials say.

Over the weekend, the #Lapland Rescue Department responded to multiple #wildfires. Approximately 30 hectares are burning in #SiikaKämä, #Ranua and about 15 hectares in #Mykräsuo, #Posio. Both fires began on Saturday.

#Firefighting efforts in Ranua are expected to continue for several more days. Dozens of people have been involved in extinguishing the fires, supported by helicopters from the Border Guard and Defence Forces.

Smaller wildfires were also reported in Posio, Ranua, #Tervola, #Kittilä, #Salla, #Ivalo, and #Savukoski, where a thunderstorm front sparked several blazes.

Last week, multiple wildfires broke out across Finnish #Lapland, including in #Savukoski, #Utsjoki, #Pello, and #Kemijärvi.
