Just an update on the cap feret fire.. they seem to have stabilised the fire at 44,000 hectares.. there are niw 3,300 firemen on site with 2,200 gendarmes in attendance with over 200,000 people evacuated from the area..

Apparently it's the worst fire since WW2. The smoke is smell able from over 250km away..

But that said, providing the wind and weather stay the same it shouldn't get any worse..
