The mayor of Saint-Aubin does not understand such recklessness. “It’s not for lack of being informed and seeing the images of fires on TV,” laments Michel Moingeon. In the middle of the afternoon, he was called for the start of a fire around the vines of his commune.
Rapid propagation around vineyards
A winegrower had just set fire to weeds to clean up the perimeter of his farm. A fire which unsurprisingly spread to another area around the vineyard. The flames were very quickly contained due to the responsiveness of the inhabitants. They managed to put out the fire before firefighters arrived. Fortunately, because the fire was all the more dangerous as it was near several houses and a wood. Nolay firefighters were dispatched to the scene. “They were coming back from a fire in the Jura, they would probably have preferred to rest,” still believes the mayor who says he is still relieved that it was only a brush fire.
