Jean-Marc Pelletant, the mayor of Landiras, has been informed. Focused on the fire, he nevertheless agreed to deliver his reaction to the South Gironde Republican :
Nine times out of ten, these fires are of human origin. There have been several fire starts in recent days, at the same place, near Troupins. The investigation must be carried out. If someone really did this, it’s a disgusting act. It will take a real example of punishment.
