The firefighters thought they had got the better of the fires in the Monts d’Arrée, in Finistère, which burned 1,725 hectares of vegetation between Monday and Thursday. The lull was short. This Friday, July 22, 2022, the fires resumed. 150 firefighters and 40 firefighting vehicles were deployed.
Four outbreaks identified
At 8 p.m. this evening, according to the Prefecture of Finistère, four outbreaks have been identified and reactivated, near Brennilis and Brasparts, especially because of the wind. The prefect asks not to drive in this sector. Already, the departmental RD785 is closed between Roc’h Tredudon and Brasparts and you cannot either take the departmental RD11 at the crossroads of the RD764.
The firefighters were able to react quickly as they were on hand to fix the fires. Reinforcements from neighboring departments should arrive overnight.
