Fontainebleau 'contained' but not out as two arrested
GlobeAlert Desk · curated from France 24 [en]
Two fires that have burned just over 2,000 hectares since Sunday in the Fontainebleau Forest south of Paris, have been "contained", even though they are not extinguished, the local prefect said Tuesday evening. Two people have been arrested on suspicion of having started the fire with one of them, a volunteer firefighter, confessing that he had set fire to twigs with matches and gasoline. France 24’s Claire Paccalin reports from Fontainebleau.
