### August

[edit]

On 17 August 2021, a devastating forest fire broke out, with a flame as high as 20 meters, in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur near Saint-Tropez.[6] Thousands of people were evacuated, in particular the villages around Cavalaire, Saint-Tropez, Grimaud and La Môle were evacuated.[2][7] The Var prefecture also confirmed the evacuation of several campsites and urged people to avoid the roads adjacent to the Gulf of Saint-Tropez so as not to hinder rescue. About 750 firefighters are fighting the fires that destroyed a wooded area of 3,500 hectares.
