A fast-moving wildfire reached the outskirts of Marseille, France’s second-largest city, on Tuesday, leading its airport to be shut down, with residents told to stay indoors and shut all openings to be safe from the smoke.

Georges-Francois Leclerc, the prefect for the area, added that there have been no reported fatalities in the fire. Meanwhile, a wildfire that started near Narbonne, in southwestern France, is still active, fanned by winds of 60 kilometres per hour. Some 2,000 hectares have burnt, the local prefecture said.
