A major fire is underway in the Gard, near Aubais, Sunday July 31. Many firefighters are mobilized on the spot, as told live by journalist Camille Thomaso.
Sunday July 31, the fire in progress in the Gard, near Aubais, is made particularly difficult to fight because of the winds which cross the region, explains the journalist Camille Thomaso. “The wind makes the work of firefighters very delicate. Of the 170 [pompiers] on the spot this afternoon, four were injured, including one in absolute emergency.” Reinforcements should nevertheless arrive on the evening of Sunday, July 31, with 300 additional firefighters.
“In the air, they are supported by four Canadairs, a Dash and a water bomber helicopter., continues the journalist. More than 300 hectares have already burned. If the origin of the fire is not officially known, the criminal track is strongly considered, given that “two starts [de feu] took place here almost simultaneously, close to a departmental “. At 7 p.m. on Sunday, an equestrian center and a home had already had to be evacuated.
