114
Large forests burn in South France. Nearly 10,000 people leave their homes. The fires are near the border to Spain. It is very hot and dry. Strong wind makes work for fire fighters hard. The fire destroys 4,600 Hektar of land. One neighbor and one fire fighter are hurt. They are in a bad state. Forests also burn in Spain. Police catch a road worker there. He starts a fire. The cycle race Tour de France happens anyway. But the 3. Etappe has no fans. The car parade is missing too. Streets stay free for rescue teams. In some areas, heat is over 40 degrees. The safety of the sports people is very important.
