More than 3,000 tourists evacuated as wildfires burn campsites in France

OVER 3000 tourists have been evacuated from a Brit holiday hotspot after wildfires raged through homes and campsites.

The blazes have ripped through 500 hectares of land in the popular region of Pyrenees-Orientales in southern France sending the holidaymakers fleeing.

Horror footage from the area shows the wildfires shockingly close to the campsites as children scream in terror.

Family were forced to abandon their belongings and run for their lives as the fires quickly spread yesterday and today.

The fire first broke out in Saint-Andre on Monday afternoon close to three busy campsites, sparking an immediate evacuation as the flames threatened to engulf the tents and motor homes.
