'It's hellish': Deadly wildfire spreads after scorching area size of Paris
The Guardian
|August 07, 2025
Hundreds of firefighters were battling to stop the spread of a fast-moving wildfire in southern France yesterday, after one woman died and nine people were injured as the blaze rampaged through the Corbières hills.
The fire had scorched an area the size of Paris on Tuesday and was still burning yesterday—making it the second biggest fire in France in 50 years.
The French prime minister, François Bayrou, who visited the area, said it was "a catastrophe of unprecedented scale" and was "linked to climate change and drought".
The blaze, which burned 16,000 hectares (40,000 acres) near the Spanish border, began in the village of Ribaute in the Aude department, spreading across the rural, wooded area of the Corbières, famous for its vineyards and medieval villages.
