After 6 weeks of baking sun and little rain a small hill fire in the afternoon becomes a serious fire by early evening that draws spectators and threatens property and lives. Fire and police crews struggle with traffic and a rampant fire fast heading fed by a south facing wind for the outskirts of Meze - The fire crosses the A75 Montpelier to Bezier Autoroute (that had to be closed) to engulf the first building on a commercial shopping area on the outskirts of Meze. Little to stop it through the night ahead!
Hi, Looks a lot worse than when we passed a half hour before. It's been a bad day for fires. Did you see one just north of Pezenas alongside A75? May see you in the bar next weekend.
