Description
At the Velaux training centre, in the south of France near Aix-en-Provence, firefighters battle huge flames attacking metal trees, a structure that is "unique in the world", according to Captain Gilles Agopian of SDIS13. In the region, which has historically been hit by major fires, firefighters have achieved spectacular results since 1990 by massively attacking the outbreaks of fire, a strategy that could reach its limits with the acceleration of global warming.
