FOREST FIRE – Situation update at 5.30 p.m.
The unfavorable weather conditions with a change of wind announced from tomorrow noon until Sunday at least should encourage everyone to be extremely careful.
The resumption of fire this afternoon shows that the crisis is far from over.
The situation in the north-northeast of the site is still very unstable. Five resumptions of fire took place this afternoon in the territories of the municipalities of Vidauban, Mayons and Le Luc, with the lifting of an east wind, blowing between 20 and 30 km / h.
4 helicopters water bombers, 4 canadairs and 3 Dashs followed one another to support the effort of land resources and contain these resumptions of fire. Tonight, these times are under control.
Tonight, with the stopping of air resources, the 1,200 men and their 250 machines will focus on the treatment of the edges (the periphery of the fire) which represent more than 80 km in length.
Securing and closing of roads
130 gendarmes are hired to monitor the road network, facilitate the passage of emergency services and carry out security patrols in evacuated areas.
> The RD98 has been reopened to traffic since this morning with a maximum speed of 70 km / h
