The firefighters of the Upper Garonne are heavily mobilized on the fire front at the beginning of August 2022. Proof again this Wednesday, August 10, 2022: 13 firefighters were mobilized in the town of Boulocclose to Toulouse for a vegetation fire which broke out shortly before 11 a.m.
A slightly injured person
Thirteen firefighters and four forest fire vehicles were dispatched to the scene. One person was slightly injured, but his state of health did not require transfer to hospital.
In the end, the fire covered six hectares of stubble and brush.
Forest fire prevention devices
High temperatures and extreme droughts greatly increase the risk of fire in the department. Two preventive forest fire systems were therefore put in place this Wednesday afternoon at the level of the fire and rescue centers of Muret-Massat and of Villefranche-de-Lauragaisin order to be ready to intervene as quickly as possible in the event of fires in the sector.
