This is the terrifying moment a wildfire spread across the hillsides of Marseille, France, forcing the temporary closure of the city's airport.

Dramatic footage shows a thick cloud of smoke blanketing homes and buildings on July 8.

Authorities said the blaze began on Tuesday in Les Pennes-Mirabeau and rapidly spread towards Marseille, leading to the suspension of airport operations.

More than 1,000 firefighters were deployed to tackle the fire, with officials reporting that around 720 hectares had already been scorched.

Hundreds of homes were evacuated, and no fatalities have been reported.
