Fontainebleau forest fires: blazes south of Paris 'contained' but not extinguished, prefect says
Two fires that have burned just over 2,000 hectares since Sunday in the Fontainebleau Forest south of Paris, have been "contained", even though they are not extinguished, the local prefect said Tuesday evening. "Contained means they are confined within their perimeter," explained Prefect Pierre Ory, noting that firefighters will still need to remain on the scene for days, if not weeks. FRANCE 24's Catherine Norris-Trent reports.
