On Monday, May 30, at 4 p.m., a fire broke out in a field near Le Rotas, Orpierre. Nearly 2000m2 of hay were burned. Particles of hay suspended in water would have ignited when they came in contact with a high voltage line at 20,000 volts. This would be the cause of the fire. There was a farmer.
Five firefighters were called to help contain the fire. Since then, power has been cut to 15 homes and the cheese dairy in Chevalet. This Monday night, Enedis agents will restore power at 9 p.m.
