Children's awareness of major risks in Rocroi
More than 60 children from the ACM in Rocroi were informed about major risks such as floods, fires, thunderstorms, and forest fires. This initiative aims to establish a culture of prevention from the youngest age.

Heatwave and fire risk in the Ardennes
A heatwave is expected this week in the Ardennes. In this regard, the prefecture is calling for vigilance: 9 out of 10 fires are of human origin. Simple actions, such as keeping barbecues away from vegetation or not dropping cigarette butts on the ground, can make a difference.

Each year, drownings occur in unsupervised swimming areas. For a safe summer, choose a supervised area, supervise children, and do not overestimate your abilities. Hazards underwater include currents, rocks, metal pilings, and boats.
