The fires mainly affect the west of France, but the risk remains very high in many regions. Including, of course, in the southeast. The fire, which has already ravaged more than 1,500 hectares near Tarascon, has resumed. The journalist Anna Domy was live from Gravesonin the Bouches-du-Rhône.
The fire which has already ravaged more than 1,500 hectares near Tarascon resumed at 3 p.m., Monday July 18, “in a rather virulent way, with smoke which approached very dangerously a small town which is 10 minutes from here. The inhabitants were very scared, they were shocked“, describes Anne Domyin live from Gravesonin the Bouches-du-Rhône.
“Firefighters are hard at work as there is still a lot of work to deal with this fire. 800 people evacuated, but no material damage. No casualties either“, she continues. 500 firefighters are currently on the ground, with two Canadairs and helicopter-bombers trying to put out this fire,”but the conditions are not favorable. It is always very hot, with a lot of wind. The night promises to be long enough for the firefighters“, concludes Anne Domy.
