FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “Wildfires creating dangerous conditions in the southwest of France • FRANCE 24 English” – below is their description.
In the Gironde region of southwest France, two massive fires feeding on tinder-dry pine forests have also forced tens of thousands of people to flee homes and summer vacation spots since they broke out July 12. Joining FRANCE 24 is Yaël Lecras, Firefighter and Vice President of the National Union of Professional Firefighters (SNSPP-PATS). He describes the situation as “very difficult because the wind is changing direction often” and the temperatures are very high. The firefighters have been “struggling” to battle this fire for several days, says Mr. Lecras. “They are very tired but they are proud to defend this beautiful forest in the south of France.”
