Up to 1,000 firefighters are fighting to stop the huge fire in Gironde from spreading to the entire Cap Ferret peninsula in western France. But they have the weather conditions against them. “We can even have dry thunderstorms with almost no rain. Sometimes this can trigger more fires through lightning strikes,” meteorologist François Jobard told Le Dauphne.
The accidental runway is preferred, at this time, for the two fires in progress, in the Landes and Gironde.
In recent days, flames have ravaged the Gironde. While the huge fire has already destroyed more than 10,000 hectares, forcing the evacuation of thousands of inhabitants and vacationers, Benjamin Castaldi wanted to pay tribute to those who are fighting against fire.
