| Title | French firefighters battle blazes with military cargo planes | Source | France 24 - World News |
| Description | Fire crews in France are battling unchecked wildfires that have forced more than 300,000 people to flee, and were overwhelmed on Sunday as the unpredictable blazes advanced.

FRANCE 24's Charlotte Hughes tells us more about the techniques French firefighters are using. | ||
