PinnedMorcenx-la-Nouvelle Town Hall: Information for ResidentsAs part of efforts to bring the fire that broke out yesterday between Morcenx-la-Nouvelle and Rion-des-Landes under control, firefighters will set backfires in certain areas.
This technique removes the fuel in front of the fire’s leading edge to prevent it from reigniting and ensure the fire is fully contained.
If you see smoke during the day, there is no cause for concern. This is a controlled operation supervised by emergency responders.
In addition, the large amounts of water being drawn from the fire hydrants in Morcenx-la-Nouvelle to supply firefighting vehicles may cause temporary disruptions to the drinking water system, including cloudier water (turbidity).
These inconveniences are temporary, and the relevant services remain on standby to restore normal service as soon as possible.
Thank you to everyone for your understanding, vigilance, and compliance with the authorities’ instructions.
