French Interior Minister Nunez told the media on the 13th that the French Fontainebleau forest fires are suspected to have been caused by humans. Nunez said that about 10 fire sites were discovered within 1,000 meters of the incident area, which is quite consistent with the characteristics of human arson. The fire department will try to control the fire on the 13th, but it will still take a few days or even weeks to completely complete the fire operation. According to French media reports, the Fontainebleau Forest, about 60 kilometers southeast of Paris, caught fire on the night of the 12th. As of the morning of the 13th, the fire had reached 800 hectares, accounting for about 5% of the forest's total area. The relevant departments evacuated about 900 residents and dispatched 400 firefighters and 2 fire planes to carry out fire extinguishing operations. Also, according to data from the French Ministry of the Interior, the total area overburned by wildfires across France has reached 32,000 hectares since this year. Many of the fires were caused by humans. Up to now, 44 people involved in the case have been arrested.
