On Thursday (July 7), several fires broke out in the Gard and Buch-du-Ron regions. Eight homes and warehouses were damaged near Arls on the Ron River in southern France.
The fire brigade in a house in Arls could do nothing. The owner found the faults of the fire, helpless. The fire first touched the trees, then the roof. Inside, the memory of a lifetime was lost.
Nearly 200 firefighters were mobilized, and four canadians struggled with wind and high temperatures.
The massive fire that has burned more than 600 acres of vegetation since Thursday night is “still active” on Friday morning (July 8), preparing for a new day of struggle. With 700 men and women on site.
