Fire restrictions and activities with fire risk in Finistère

Persistent dry weather and the absence of significant precipitation are exacerbating the severe drying of vegetation, maintaining a high risk of fire ignition and spread.

Preventive measures are adapted and extended throughout the department until Tuesday, 11 August 2026 at 12:00.

In fire-risk areas (woods, forests, heaths, plantations, land covered with vegetation, and roads crossing such areas):

• the use of fire is prohibited, except for interventions by the departmental fire and rescue service in the context of firefighting;
• camping remains prohibited.

Throughout the department:

• works likely to generate sparks are regulated;
• Agricultural, forestry, and landscaping works may resume provided that firefighting equipment is immediately available on site;
• Grinding works and landscaping and forestry works likely to produce sparks are permitted only before 14:00 and after 18:00;
• Campfires and cooking fires are prohibited near vegetation (except gas-powered equipment used under strictly safe conditions);
• Works likely to generate sparks, excluding agricultural, forestry, and landscaping works, are prohibited.

Let us remain vigilant and adopt safe behaviors to protect people, property, and natural areas.
