The fire still evolves at a moderate pace, the prefect of the apartment on Tuesday afternoon assured, calling on 4,000 to 5,000 people closer to the fire to stay in their homes.
The fire has neither stabilized nor under control.
Although population exclusion has been lifted to many nearby communities, it remains in place for some areas in the south, as there is still the risk.
“The biggest challenge is to tackle the fire as soon as possible so as not to escape control and force us to review the whole system»explained the prefect. “The fire will require the presence of the Fire Brigade for several days, as we need to make sure we face the whole fire before the wind changes.”
At the moment, the wind blows towards the sea, but is expected to change direction on Thursday night. A sea wind, blowing from east to west, would result in redirecting current fires to the hinterland. On Tuesday afternoon, firefighters fought with the left side of the fire, which was the most severe, and were mobilized to prevent any fire repeat in the areas that were still sensitive.
