While firefighters are fighting against the gigantic fire in the Var, they have also been mobilized since Tuesday on several fronts in the Aude.
The first fire, still under surveillance this Wednesday morning, broke out overnight from Monday to Tuesday in the town of Bizanet, in the Corbières.
Fanned by the wind, he has since traveled 60 hectares and mobilized up to 320 firefighters.
In particular, he injured five firefighters whose truck was caught in the flames.
One of them is seriously affected, according to the Aude prefecture.
The flames also led to the evacuation of several hamlets as a preventive measure.
On the same night, a second fire broke out, still in the Corbières, in the town of Durban.
It was fixed after having ravaged 20 hectares of scrubland.
Finally, Tuesday evening around 7 p.m., a new fire was reported closer to the coast, in Peyriac-sur-Mer.
It was quickly brought under control but it led to the closure of the A9 motorway for three hours, between Narbonne and Perpignan, where traffic jams formed.
