Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Is the fire that bad ? Or is it due to Marseille airport also being the base for fire-fighting plane ?

The fire is pretty bad, it reached the city and they had to interrupt all train traffic towards and from Marseille and Nice because of it. Not sure if the airport is a base of operation, but the smoke is really thick, and I'm not sure planes can safely fly through that.

Both, Canadairs have been flying near the runways for hours, refueled at the airport and took water near the runways (but usually that's okay, because they try to stay out of the way).

Flights resumed around 22h local time.
