“This is a detritus fire on a ground surface of 60 m², with many tires, which explains this thick black smoke,” said the commander of rescue operations (COS) on the departmental fire and rescue service of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. The fire mobilized 17 firefighters from the Pau rescue center and was extinguished using two spears.
“Improve safety”
Municipal police secured access to the site during the firefighters’ intervention. It is also a municipal patrol that saw the fire and gave the alert.
The thick black smoke was impressive at the start of the evening from Boulevard des Pyrénées.

At the fire, the assistant Palois Eric Sabatte and the mayor of Bizanos Jean-Louis Calderoni call for “a meeting of all the actors to improve the security of this site”.
