The situation remains very tense in the Landiras sector, where more than 6,000 hectares have already gone up in smoke on Saturday July 16. Present on site, the journalist Thomas Cuny takes stock of the situation.
In Landiras (Gironde), the situation remains very worrying, Saturday July 16. “The fire is still not controlled or fixed, which means that it is still progressing, and extremely quickly. Last night alone, more than 1,000 additional hectares went up in smoke, bringing the total number of hectares ravaged to 6,000“, reports the journalist Thomas Cuny, present on the spot.
The weather conditions are still very unfavorable, the wind pushing the flames forward “at breakneck speed“, which complicates the work of firefighters. In the air, three Canadairs rotate very regularly. On the other fire, in La Teste-de-Buch (Gironde), the situation has stabilized. “But the fear is the resumption of fire in several places. The dozens of people who were evacuated have still not been able to return to their place of residence.“, concludes the journalist.
