Throughout our territory over 10 thousand firefighters and civil protection officers are mobilized against the flames. And again: These soldiers of the fire are our heroes. In these hours German firefighters are on their way to the affected areas in the south-west of France; other reinforcements to the French firefighters will arrive from the rest of Europe.

Meanwhile, the French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne and the Minister of the Interior, Gerald Darmanin, have flocked to the Bordeaux region. The flames have already devastated 6,800 hectares of land. We have never mobilized so many meansBorne told reporters in the Hostens resort.
