Lege-Cap Ferret (France), 30 July (LaPresse/AP) – The French authorities are giving the go-ahead for 84,000 evacuees to return to their homes, having been forced to leave due to a massive wildfire in south-western France. The authorised returns, announced today for nine towns that had been evacuated, represent the strongest signal yet from the authorities that the battle, which began last week against the fire that has scorched an area four times the size of Paris, may have passed its critical point. In total, more than 220,000 people had been forced to leave their homes.
