More than 6,000 hectares have already gone up in smoke and the fire in Gironde is still raging.
While traveling in the field, this Wednesday, Gérald Darmanin appealed to employers to "release their employees who are volunteer firefighters".
Message received 5 out of 5 by Renaud Muselier, the president of the Paca region, who immediately announced that he would make available "service and high school agents", employed by the community, who are volunteer firefighters.
In all, more than 40,000 hectares have burned this year in France according to the government, or even 50,000 hectares according to European satellite data: in any case, this is several times the annual average of the previous 15 years.
