France to use Paris river water as wildfire burns over 1,980 acres

France's authorities said firefighting planes would scoop water from the Seine river flowing through Paris as the wildfire in Fontainebleau forest burned across 1,980 acres. More than 400 firefighters were working to contain the wildfire 70 km from Paris. Authorities urged people to avoid travelling around the area as the A6 highway was closed due to the fire.
