Tarn-et-Garonne firefighters left on the night of Tuesday August 9, 2022 to lend a hand to their Girondin colleagues faced with new outbreaks of fire. They have just published an impressive video of their intervention on the front line of the fire.
“He’s an ogre, he’s a monster, with brains and tactical behavior.” The description of the president of the National Federation of Firefighters of France, Grégory Allion has the power of evocation to describe the difficulties encountered by the firefighters in the face of the virulence of the flames of the fires in Gironde.
Tarn-et-Garonne firefighters went to reinforce the workforce on site, on the night of Tuesday August 9, 2022. Thursday, August 11, they posted a video on their Facebook page where the fire men face a real wall of flames.
These barely 13-second images show the almost insurmountable obstacles to bringing this fire under control: rotating winds, trees and flames measuring 30 meters.
“They are currently engaged in the Belin-Béliet sector (33)defending sensitive pointsindicates the Sdis 82 in a Facebook post. They are subjected to strong heat due to the weather conditions, but also by radiation from the fire, but there are no injuries to deplore for the Tarn-et-Garonne. Nonetheless, some CCF suffered from the flames. Our firefighters keep their spirits up despite fatigue and difficult interventions.“
Firefighters from the neighboring department, Haute-Garonne, also left as reinforcements on the night of August 9: five machines and twenty personnel hired to fight the flames around Landiras.
