Fanned by a strong wind, the fire resumed this Saturday in the Arrée mountains, in the center of Finistère.
More than 1,700 hectares of vegetation have burned since July 18 in these fields and this very special moorland which is home to “a biodiversity of very great value”, according to Bretagne Vivante.
At midday, at least four fire starts were observed, in particular in the municipalities of Brennilis and Brasparts, according to the Telegram.
