Description
By mid-morning, twelve French firefighters with petrol canisters, rakes and water sprayers set controlled burns to clear the undergrowth of a forest in Bages, near Narbonne, in the south of France. The aim of the controlled burns, led by the Aude Departmental Fire and Rescue Service, is to clear 3 hectares of forest of excessive undergrowth and bushes before the summer heat returns to this area, which has been affected by a prolonged drought for several years.
