the fires still not fixed, the inhabitants of Cazaux authorized to return

0

This Saturday, from 9 a.m., 4000 inhabitants of Cazaux on the Bassin d’Arcachon are authorized to return to their homes. The day before, the authorization was given by the prefecture to the inhabitants of five communes of the South-Gironde to return to their homes. “Reintegrations will continue in the coming days,” promised the prefecture this Friday evening. Reconnaissance flights were to take place last night over La Teste-de-Buch and Landiras to assess whether new people could return to their homes.

However, the lights of La Teste-de-Buch and Landiras are still not fixed. That is to say that the area where the fire is deployed is always changing. Even if the assessment of the burned areas is always the same: 13,800 hectares in the South-Gironde, 7,000 near the Dune du Pilat, or 20,800 hectares in total since July 12. The risks of recoveries persist, particularly under the effect of the winds.

During the night, the firefighters continued to work on the edges and hot spots (about forty identified this Friday), with support from air resources (Canadair and attack helicopters). Resources are gradually reduced. From 1,800 men mobilized this Friday, the contingent is only 1,300 this Saturday.
