Globally, forest fires today destroy almost twice as much tree area as 20 years ago.
In France, the risk has already spread to the entire territory.
In the Mediterranean region, an 80% increase in burned areas is expected by 2050, while there is a growing emergence of unusual fires against which the fight strategy is now obsolete.
The 456,000 hectares of forests, maquis and moors of the Var represent 76% of highly threatened combustible areas. The doubling of the population over the last thirty years has caused urbanization which continues to soar, within or on the outskirts of increasingly combustible spaces.
Beyond the protection of our beautiful forests, the protection of people and property has become a major issue for the State which promulgated on July 10, 2023, a new law aimed at strengthening prevention and the fight against intensification and the extension of the fire risk, which requires in particular the strengthening of public awareness, forest management and the strengthening of legal obligations for clearing.
On the map above, it is easy to see that there are very few areas not exposed to the risk of Forest Fire which affects ALL municipalities in the Var.
A development of natural or gardened areas must be studied and carried out, in order to constitute “the safety belt” which will protect people and property, limit the spread and facilitate the intervention of emergency means.
The OLD (Legal Clearance Obligations) are regulated by a prefectural decree of 03/30/2015 which imposes a certain number of technical modalities whose implementation must be carried out not only on one’s property, but also very often on neighboring properties. after obtaining authorizations, and on areas which may exceed 4 hectares depending on the PLU/POS, and regulations specific to certain municipalities or Forest Fire Risk Prevention Plans (PPRIF).
If the studies carried out on the latest fires demonstrate that the proper execution of this work protects 80% of constructions, it is possible to increase this first level of regulatory protection much further by adding numerous specific measures which we will propose to you afterwards. study.
Our team of specialists and experts will be able to support you in your process of ensuring the security of your family and property and guide you through a large number of often complex regulatory procedures.
Our objective remains your protection, and indirectly that of our forests, with effective, widely proven methods, used by all administrations in the Var and inexpensive. (We have mastered various complex advanced analysis techniques which are, due to implementation costs, more suitable for very large land units)
Thus, our first level of study, from €100 excluding tax, will allow you to know the right regulatory development work to be carried out in the right places, and any specific regulations applicable.
A small investment which in return will give you all the elements necessary to comply with regulations and will prevent you from doing often expensive work which would not be your responsibility…
