Main forest ranges in Var
Var is home to some of the most vulnerable forest ranges in France: the Maures massif, the Estérel, the Sainte-Baume, and the hills of Saint-Tropez. These areas are subject to prefectural closures as soon as the risk index becomes severe or exceptional. FOSIVA notifies you as soon as an official order is published for your area.
💡 Good to know: the mistral wind can cause a fire to grow from a few hectares to several thousand in less than an hour. Activate FOSIVA notifications before every high-wind weekend in Var.
