GRIMAUD
Every year, large forest areas are subject to a severe fire risk. Between malevolence, imprudence or ignorance, man is often found at the origin of the fire.
Clearing protects your home and prevents the spread of fire in nearby properties or in the forest. On a perfectly cleared ground, the fire passes without much damage and the intervention of the firemen is facilitated. Consult the Complete Guide by clicking HERE

The use of fire is strictly regulated. The regulation prohibits the burning of plant residues by individuals. This green waste must be sent to a dump, crushed on site or treated by composting.
Exceptions to this prohibition include residues of compulsory brushing, agricultural or forestry work or plants infested with pests.
