Fiery hell in France
France is having a bad luck streak recently - the country's historical forests are burning, and there are nearly not enough firefighters to stop them.
The wildfires burned around 2,050 hectares of the historic Fontainebleau Forest, located 60 km southeast of Paris.
The forest fire coincided with France's 3rd major heatwave this season, with temperatures rising above 40°C. The "Électricité de France" had to shut down 3 nuclear reactors and reduce power generation at 8 others since the local river water - normally used to cool the facilities - became too warm.
Supposedly the nature will restore itself in 30 years or so. On a side note - apparently the local police caught some people that were setting more forest areas on fire. Reminds me of the relatively recent forest fires in Argentina. Very suspicious indeed...
