Fire in Gironde and in the Landes: images of the night in Belin-Béliet, Borne and Darmanin expected in Hostens – South West

Belin-Béliet threatened “The fire has spread on all sides and with the rise in temperatures, we have a fire that has exploded in certain places”, explained Wednesday the departmental director of the Gironde fire brigade, Marc Vermeulen. But if it seems to be slowing down on the west side, the fire suddenly approached north of Belin-Béliet and Saint-Magne, forcing the closure of the A63 in both directions for tens of kilometers. During the night from Wednesday to Thursday, in the now ghostly village of Belin-Béliet, hundreds of firefighters worked hard to counter the giant fire threatening several homes. All night, the firefighters fought against the fire, which suddenly headed towards Belin-Béliet.
