Overview

  • Both wildfires remain active on July 9 with perimeters gradually fixed after days of aerial and ground firefighting.
  • More than 500 firefighters in the Aude and 168 in Bouches-du-Rhône continue to battle hot spots, supported by Canadair, Dash planes and helicopters.
  • The A9 and A55 motorways are still closed and Marseille-Provence airport remains shut, forcing flight diversions and road disruptions.
  • Evacuation and confinement orders persist across Narbonne’s Roche-Grise and Montplaisir quarters, Jas de Rode and Bouroumettes zones in Pennes-Mirabeau, and Marseille’s 16th arrondissement.
  • Judicial investigations are under way to determine the causes of the woodland fire in the Corbières and the vehicle fire that ignited the Marseille-area blaze.
