Residents return home after southwestern France fires

French authorities announced that they have gained control over a major forest fire in southwestern France after more than a week of burning. This has allowed approximately 144,000 people to return to their homes out of the more than 220,000 who were evacuated. The fire destroyed 42,000 hectares of pine forest and damaged hundreds of homes. This occurred amid an unprecedented drought wave that led to an ongoing unusual fire season in France. Major roads were closed, but traffic on the A63 motorway has resumed as efforts to contain the blaze continue and damage assessments are underway.
