two fire starts in the Pyrénées-Orientales this Tuesday noon

The strong tramontana is an aggravating factor. Since noon, the firefighters of the departmental fire and rescue service of the Pyrénées-Orientales have been mobilized on two homes in Opoul and to Rivesaltes.

Threatened homes in Rivesaltes

Around noon, an outbreak broke out north of Rivesaltes, near the railway and the Chemin de Vingrau. Six teams of firefighters specializing in particular in the protection of homes are on site. For the moment, they have not carried out any evacuation, the fire is not yet under control at midday.

In order to facilitate the intervention of the emergency services, the train traffic is cut at least until 3 p.m. between Narbonne and Perpignan
