Gendarmes on Patrol for Incendies Prevention in Gascogne Forests
Gendarmes Patrol Amidst the Threat of Incendies
Incendies are a pressing concern in the dense forests of Gascogne following the devastating incendie de Landiras in 2022. Spurred by past tragedies, gendarmes now patrol these areas with bikes and all-terrain vehicles, ensuring prevention measures are in full effect. These experienced authorities access previously unreachable locations, enhancing vigilance to deter potential fires.
Awareness and Education
The vigilance group aims to prevent future incidents and educate the public on safe practices. Major Sébastien Hazera emphasizes the importance of raising awareness about risks associated with reckless behavior, such as discarding cigarette butts or igniting barbecues.
- Public outreach is essential for preventing future incendies.
- The community remains on high alert, particularly after the scenes witnessed in 2022.
- Regular patrols act as both a monitoring mechanism and a reminder of safety regulations.
As summers pass without incident, gendarmes maintain vigilance to adapt to any changing fire risks, ensuring the safety of the Gascogne region.
