By Tassilo Hummel MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) -A fast-moving wildfire reached the outskirts of France's second most populous city of Marseille on Tuesday, prompting the closure of the airport and an order to residents to stay indoors because of the smoke.

Georges-Francois Leclerc, the prefect for the area, added that there have been no reported fatalities in the fire. Meanwhile, a wildfire that started near Narbonne, in southwestern France, is still active, fanned by winds of 60 kilometres per hour. Some 2,000 hectares have burnt, the local prefecture said.

Flights to and from Marseille have been suspended and traffic at the city’s main train station was disrupted due to a wildfire near the southern French port city.
