Due to the very serious risk of fire in the forests of the Héraultthis Wednesday, the Sdis 34 strongly advises against their access and recalls the important advice to follow.
The risk is very severe – red – in the Minervois-Saint-Chinianais massif, west of Béziers. It is severe -orange- in the other wooded areas of the department, except on a small south-eastern strip of the coast, where yellow dominates, as can be seen on the maps.
Faced with this situation, and while more than 20,000 hectares of forest have already burned in Gironde, and Hérault firefighters have been engaged in recent days on major fires in the Bouches-du-Rhône, Ariège and since yesterday in the Gorges du Tarn (municipality of Vernet in Lozère – 5 machines and 20 helmets), the valuable safety advice and useful are good to remember.
A gesture to avoid: throwing your cigarette butt not extinguished by the window of a car, neither driver nor passengers of course. No BBQ close to the vegetation, no works causing sparks in nature.
–This Wednesday, faced with negative forecasts in the event of a fire starting in the forest, access is strongly discouraged, from 11am. For the time being, there is no prefectural decree in force prohibiting walking in the forest massifs. Finally, if you see suspicious smoke, report it without delay to 18 or 112, giving as many details as possible on its location and the size of the plume.
