Understanding
Fire alert in Nord (59)
This page shows the fire risk map for the Nord department (59). It allows you to quickly check the level of risk of forest and bush fires by area, with information tailored to travel, outdoor work and activities in the countryside.
Why look at this map?
Heat, wind, dry ground and the condition of the vegetation can contribute to the outbreak of fires and accelerate their spread. Before going for a walk, carrying out work, having a barbecue or undertaking any agricultural activity, always check the local fire risk alert and any regulations in force.
Prevention advice
Avoid carrying out work that produces sparks during high-risk periods, never throw cigarette ends into the countryside, keep a fire extinguisher to hand and comply with restrictions on access to mountainous areas. Taking precautions significantly reduces the risk of a fire starting.
