Wildfire risk in Alpes-Maritimes with FOSIVA.
Alpes-Maritimes (06) is one of the departments where wildfire risk is most complex to manage: the proximity to the sea, the density of coastal urban areas, and the presence of forests reaching high altitudes create high-risk situations throughout the summer season. FOSIVA alerts residents, French Riviera tourists, and Mercantour hikers in real time.

High-risk areas in Alpes-Maritimes
The department presents a unique characteristic: Mediterranean vegetation grows right down to the sea while climbing toward high-altitude mountain ranges. The Estérel (shared with the Var department), the Prealps of Nice, and the Grasse hinterland concentrate most of the summer risks. Fires can spread rapidly with northern winds.
💡 Good to know: in Alpes-Maritimes, some hiking trails can be closed as early as 10:00 AM during high-risk periods. Check FOSIVA before any outing.
