Fontainebleau forest fires: blazes south of Paris 'contained' but not extinguished, prefect says

Two fires in the Fontainebleau Forest south of Paris have burned over 2,000 hectares since Sunday and are now 'contained,' according to the local prefect, though firefighters will remain on site for days or weeks. Prefect Pierre Ory clarified that 'contained' means the blazes are confined to their perimeter but not yet extinguished.
