The article discusses the efforts of gendarmes and other authorities in identifying arsonists responsible for wildfires in the Gironde region. It highlights the collaboration between firefighters, gendarmes, and foresters since 2022, particularly after the devastating megafire at Landiras in 2022, which destroyed 30,000 hectares. The piece notes that 90% of fires have human origins, with 420 people, including 166 minors, interpolated in connection with fires.
