A major vegetation fire in Cagnes-sur-Mer, on the Domaine du Loup, disrupts traffic on the A8

The flames that can be seen from the A8 motorway are impressive. It is in particular pines which burn at the bottom of the domain of the wolf, in Cagnes-sur-Mer (Alpes-Maritimes) this Tuesday afternoon. The fire started right next to the former RN7 and very quickly spread to the vegetation between the tall buildings of this “district” and the traffic lanes near the racecourse and the exit of the A8 Villeneuve-Loubet. A strong wind, which rose at the end of the morning, fanned the hearth. nearly 80 firefighters are on site, aided by a water bomber helicopter. The swimming pool of the residence also serves as a reservoir.

Traffic on the A8 very disrupted

Traffic on the A8 is very disrupted at the end of the day. Lots of slowdowns and heavy smoke make the dangerous traffic in this area.

THE rail traffic is interrupted between Nice and Antibesthe railway line being wedged between the former RN7 and the A8 motorway.
