@dailymail: Aircraft dropped water on a wildfire in southwest France that has forced more than 10,000 people to evacuate from towns and villages inland. The fire has burned around 4,600 hectares (17.8 square miles) in the foothills of the French Pyrenees, near the Spanish border. The blaze, which started near the village of Trevillach, has injured five people, including a firefighter. It is burning near the route of the third stage of the Tour de France. Local authorities have closed access to the stage to the public so emergency services can move through the area more easily. #wildfire #france #news
