While the fire has continued to ravage the Massif des Maures in the Var for a week, with more than 7,000 hectares burned, the firefighters call for the greatest vigilance. All the forest areas of the two departments are prohibited from access.
The weather conditions are particularly bad in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees, wind gusts can reach locally up to 80 km / h, combined with a very high level of drought on the coast and the south-east of Bouches-du-Rhône. The coastal zone, the Côte Bleue and the Calanques massif are placed in extreme risk. The other forest areas are at very serious risk.
