3:30Now PlayingSmoke from a fast-moving wildfire in Marseille, France forced the closure of a major airport and triggered evacuations as strong winds fueled the flames. Marseille Mayor Benoît Payan said the “violent fire” began in the nearby town of Les Pennes-Mirabeau before advancing to the "gates of Marseille" on Tuesday afternoon. “I ask all Marseille residents to be extremely vigilant and to limit their movements as much as possible to make way for emergency services, particularly in the north of the city,” Payan said.
