The fire in the Aude, which has ravaged a hundred hectares near Carcassonne, is fixed and the A61 reopened as soon as possible.

An fire broke out on the A61 motorway near Carcassonne in the Aude department after a car caught fire. The blaze spread across approximately 100 hectares before being contained by firefighters around 9 PM. A significant deployment of human and aerial resources, including 280 firefighters, 60 intervention trucks, and several aircraft, helped prevent damage to homes in nearby communities such as Carcassonne, Cazilhac, and Palaja. Around 150 people were evacuated as a precaution, and animals at a nearby zoo were moved to safety. The A61 was closed in both directions, and the minister of transportation advised drivers to avoid the area to ensure their safety and facilitate firefighting efforts. Authorities stated that the fire was now 'fixed' but emphasized continued monitoring overnight.
