A major wildfire occurred from 19 August 1949 to 25 August 1949 in the Landes forest in France. 50,000 hectares (500 km2) of forest land were burnt - and 82 people killed. It was considered the most deadly forest fire in Europe until the 2007 and 2018 wildfires in Greece, which killed 84 and 99 people, respectively. Since both fire events in Greece can be distinguished as a multiple fire event, the Landes fire still ranks as the deadliest wildfire in Europe since record-keeping began. The municipalities of Cestas, Saucats, Marcheprime and Mios in the Gironde department were devastated by the forest fire. The very high dead toll from the fire shocked the country – and marked the starting point for the construction of the “Defending Forest against Wildfire” – “Défense de la forêt contre les

  • 1949ko Landetako basoaren sutea urte hartako abuztuaren 19tik 25raino Gaskoiniako Landetan izan zen. Baso-sutearen ondorioz, 52.000 ha, horietatik 25.000 Landetako basoarenak, erre eta 82 lagun hil ziren. Europa osoko sute modernorik hilgarriena izan zen. Suteak Girondako Cestas, Saucats, Marcheprime eta Mios udalerriak errautsi zituen. Abuztuaren 19an Saucatseko Le Murat auzoan sortu zen, arratsaldeko ordubata inguruan. Ikerketaren arabera, Pioton izeneko langile baten zigarroak sortu zuen. Laster hedatu zen eta Lagune du Merlen kokaturiko suebakiak ezin zuen bere lana bete. Haizeak sutea zabaldu eta hilaren 20ko arratsaldeko hirurak aldean zakar jo zuen. Garrek 200 metroko luzera ere izan zuten eta su-ekaitzak gogor jo zuen suhiltzaileen kontra. Haizea baretu zenean, sutea amatatzeko gai ziren. (eu)
