The region currently utilizes nearly 4,500 volunteer and professional firefighters to combat these threats.

The major issue now centers on how natural disasters overlap with periods when personnel are less available.
"The place that forest fire risks and natural risks increasingly take, outside periods of massive availability of volunteer and professional firefighters," Brocardi said.
Historically, French forest fires occurred mostly during July and August, but the window has widened significantly.
"They extend beyond this summer window which is generally combined with the greater availability," Brocardi noted.
The prolonged duration of these seasonal interventions actively depletes the energy and readiness of emergency workers.
"The kinetics of forest fire interventions are bound to be much longer, it wears out volunteering, it wears out the professional firefighter.
And so inevitably, we are today on a human challenge rather than on a material challenge," he said.
