Météo des forêts · September 10, 2026

The day after: High danger.

Published by Météo-France, combining temperature, humidity, wind and vegetation dryness. It is not a fire forecast: it is how easily a fire would spread if one started.

Why they start

Out of 2,893 declared fires whose cause is recorded, that is 62 % of those in the department.

Arson 1,118 39 %
Unintentional (private individual) 968 33 %
Accidental 443 15 %
Unintentional (works) 239 8 %
Natural 125 4 %

BDIFF source. An investigation succeeds more often when a fire is large or suspicious: arson is probably over-represented here.
