Fire in Gironde: Bercy announces 13.13,000 businesses evacuated and aid for the victims

A major fire has been raging in the Gironde department, leading to the evacuation of approximately 13,000 businesses according to preliminary figures announced by the French Minister of Economy, Roland Lescure. The situation has prompted insurers to commit to covering relocation costs for affected individuals, regardless of whether their homes were damaged. This support extends to residents in Gironde, the Landes, and the Var departments. Over 220,000 people have already been displaced due to the fires. Insurers have extended the deadline for declaring claims to at least August 31, compared to the usual five days. Daily meetings between economic stakeholders and government officials have been established to monitor the evolving situation. Local authorities warn that while there was some stabilization overnight, conditions remain favorable for the fire to resume.
