fire spreads quickly. 6,000 hectares of plantings have already been destroyed.
Le Figaro reports this.
According to French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, there are “strong suspicions that the fire is an act of arson.” It is noted that ten thousand people were evacuated from dangerous areas in the departments of Landes and Gironde.
More than 1,000 firefighters, 9 aircraft and 2 helicopters were involved in extinguishing the flames. Prime Minister Elisabeth Born said the country's government is mobilizing all means to fight the fire.
In turn, Darmanen urged employers to allow volunteer firefighters to go to their barracks to join the fight against the fire. “Eight large-scale fires are blazing across the country at the same time. Everything indicates that we will have many difficulties in the coming weeks,” the minister said.
As reported, the third explosion, fire is approaching the fourth fuel tank. The largest fire in decades threatens not only an economic, but also an environmental disaster for Cubans. Despite the efforts of hundreds of firefighters, the flames have not been brought under control for the fourth day already.
