Landiras mega fire in 2022: in the absence of a suspect, the Bordeaux prosecutor's office requests dismissal of the case. The Gironde fire of Landiras 1 ravaged 13,800 hectares of pine trees in 12 days and caused the evacuation of 16,000 people.
The author(s) of this devastating fire outbreak, on July 12 of that year, were never found. “Despite the numerous assessments and analyzes carried out, the exploitation of all the lines of inquiry envisaged, the investigations carried out and the police custody ordered”, specifies Frédérique Porterie, the public prosecutor.
