After a 48-hour battle, more than 800 deployed firefighters managed to contain two wildfires that swept through more than 2,000 hectares of the Fontainebleau forest, the local prefect said Tuesday evening. Four individuals remain in police custody in connection with the blazes, including a volunteer firefighter. “Contained means they are confined within their perimeter,” explained Prefect Pierre Ory, noting that firefighters will still need to remain on the scene for days, if not weeks. French firefighters aided by water bombers on Tuesday battled wildfires that ravaged a hugely popular forest outside Paris as another scorching heatwave keeps the capital in its grip. The fires that erupted Sunday scorched some 2,050 hectares (5,000 acres) – an area roughly three times the size of Gibraltar, firefighters said on Tuesday.
