The fires are contained in Gironde and in the Landes, Saturday August 13. 1,500 residents, or about 15% of the evacuees, were allowed to return home.
Return home, Saturday August 13, for a resident of Saugnacq-et-Muret (Landes). More than 1,000 people evacuated from the village have been able to return to their homes. “In two days, we didn’t have time to lose our habits, but we were still worried about the house“, he comments. The bakery, the only business in the village, has also reopened its doors.
A relief that the inhabitants of the town of Belin-Béliet (Gironde) do not yet share. Here, not a sound, deserted streets and evacuated houses. Only volunteers and police have the right to enter. 5,000 inhabitants had to find accommodation solutions, often urgently. A family of six was taken in by a couple of volunteers, who made an entire floor available to them. “I’m embarrassed “, admits Jacques Fautous. On their faces, however, you can read the relief, and the emotion of experiencing such solidarity.
