Moments of fear were recorded during a live broadcast from the wildfires in southwestern France when a gas cylinder suddenly exploded just a few meters away from a journalist reporting from the ground. The explosion was clearly heard on the broadcast, while the signal was immediately cut off for safety reasons.
According to foreign media reports, fortunately, the journalist and the television crew were not injured, while authorities continue their efforts to bring the flames under control, which have forced thousands of people to evacuate from endangered areas. The fires, favored by high temperatures and drought, continue to pose a serious threat in several regions of France.
