In the Gironde department, 3.5 thousand people had to leave their homes, including residents of the municipalities of Hostin and Saint-Magne. In Landes – several hundred evacuees.

Several thousand people have been evacuated in southwestern France due to a large forest fire. This was reported by Le Figaro.

Several fires broke out over the weekend, and France is experiencing a new heat wave that could be the biggest this summer.

The fire is burning in the departments of Landes and Gironde, where last month there was also a large forest fire. According to local authorities, 3.5 thousand people had to leave their homes in the Gironde department, including residents of the municipalities of Hostin and Saint-Magne. In Landes – several hundred evacuees.

Meanwhile, 6,000 hectares of forest have burned, authorities said. In the town of Belin-Belley in the Gironde, 16 houses were destroyed. 300 firefighters were called to put out the fire, two of them were injured.

In the Gironde, more than 20,000 hectares of forest were reduced to ashes by two large fires last month. In addition, around 3,000 people were evacuated during the night of Monday to Tuesday due to a forest fire in the municipality of Mostuezhul. Among them are a large number of camping guests.

Forest fires in France are partly caused by the fact that residents do not follow the rules, a commission of inquiry by the French Senate concluded last week. In risk areas, people have to remove bushes within a radius of 50 meters around their own home, but not everyone does this. Because of this, the fire spread faster.

Recall that in July in the city of Montpellier in southern France, rescuers extinguished a fire that burned approximately 900 hectares of territory.
