The strong smell of burning is felt all the way to Valencia this Sunday afternoon. A fire located south of Portes-lès-Valence between the A7 motorway and the National 7 generated a lot of smoke which, with the wind, considerably hinders traffic. National 7 was closed punctually. The slow lane of the A7 was neutralized at the height of the fire. This causes a 15 kilometer slowdown in the uphill direction. By 4:30 p.m., firefighters had the blaze under control.
Many fires are underway simultaneously in the Drôme.
