A pretty crazy video filmed by the boaters themselves.
Civil security has recalled the safety rules for boaters in the event of Canadair scooping.
This recall follows a video posted on social networks on which we can see boaters in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, in the Var, being brushed against by a canadair, while it comes to fill its tanks.
They are currently mobilized on the huge fire that has struck the plain of the Moors, and the hinterland of Saint-Tropez since Monday evening.

⚠️ For your safety and that of our pilots, be very careful when moving away from the overflight zone (500 meters minimum)!

No less than 11 canadairs, out of the 12 that France has, were mobilized on this fire, recalled Emmanuel Macron during his visit to the PC on Tuesday.
"For your safety and that of our pilots, be very careful when moving away from the overflight zone (500 meters minimum)", reminds Civil Security.
This fire made a first victim during the night from Monday to Tuesday, and has already devastated more than 6,000 hectares.
