360 hectares burned so far. Hasn’t rained since May 18, and the region suffered a heatwave last week. Soil and vegetation are dry as hell. Gearing up to be an intense moment.
Plus very strong winds. And simultaneous fires in another region (Narbonne) with 2000 hectares burned so far and 1800 firefighter mobilised.
