[OmegaStarScream]

Hundreds of firefighters have been deployed to battle the fires near Bormes-les-Mimosas, in the country's Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
France earlier asked its EU neighbours for more help fighting the fires.
Some 4,000 hectares (15.4 sq miles) of land have burned along the Mediterranean coast, in the mountainous interior and on the island of Corsica.

Yikes, this is like the one in Portugal all over again. Hopefully this will be less tragic. The image of the people stuck in their cars and baked on the road going through the forest was just so sad.
