A fire broke out on Tuesday, September 29, around 4:30 p.m. in Plombières-lès-Dijon, a town in the Côte d'Or department of France. The blaze burned nearly 12 hectares of land in the area of Bonvaux street and the Pérouse path. The fire began in the lower part of the town and spread toward the Pérouse plateau. It was contained early on Wednesday morning, but firefighters continued to work throughout the day to extinguish remaining hot spots. Colonel Olivier Roy, a communications officer for the Côte-d’Or firefighters, said the fire is no longer advancing but has not yet been fully extinguished. He noted that the firefighters' efforts combined with the absence of wind were key in containing the fire. The wind turned and decreased in intensity last night, which slowed the fire's progress. A dozen firefighters remain mobilized on Wednesday, compared to 120 firefighters at the height of the fire. They are expected to stay on site throughout the day to deal with the remaining hot spots. A drone equipped with a thermal camera is also scheduled to survey the area to identify the most at-risk locations. From an operational standpoint, five water tankers are mobilized, along with logistical means and command resources. The fire involved very dense vegetation, overgrown areas, and mainly pines. Two firefighters were injured during the operation, according to the prefecture of Côte-d'Or. Train traffic on the Dijon-Paris line was temporarily interrupted due to the proximity of the railway before gradually resuming in the evening on Tuesday. Elodie Feurtet, manager of the Éco-domaine de la Pérouse, an aromatic and medicinal plant farm located in the area, expressed relief that the fire was contained, noting that the flames stopped 250 meters from the farm. She mentioned that the plume of smoke was impressive and the pines burned very quickly. She also stated that for five years, there have been fires almost every year in this area and suggested that the possibility of a criminal fire should be investigated by the authorities, citing the same typology each time on steep terrain with dry vegetation. Residents and locals expressed concerns about the possibility of an intentional act, with some stating that the fire did not start on its own. One resident, Philippe Collot, said that the fire started on the route de Velard and spread upward, which he found unlikely to be accidental. Another resident, Aldo Petrella, noted that there had been no fires in the area for 30 years but now almost every year there is an incident in the forest. According to the prefecture of Côte-d'Or, a firefighter was injured during the night. The cause of the fire remains unknown.
