The fire, which broke out near Les Arcs, had spread across around 200 hectares, destroying several homes and vehicles.

Authorities ordered evacuations in parts of Cotignac and Sillans-la-Cascade, urging residents to leave threatened areas and avoid obstructing emergency operations.

Météo-France warned temperatures in the region could exceed 40°C, raising concerns that the fire could continue to spread.

Euronews correspondents are reporting from the affected areas.
