MARSEILLE, THE SACRED FIRE OF THE MARINES-FIREFIGHTERS

The guardian angels of our daily lives

An episode from the series MISSION PROTECTION

Synopsis

Although it accounts for only 5-10% of a fire brigade's annual activity, firefighting is undoubtedly the most perilous of their missions.

In Marseilles, they have to contend with two combined handicaps: a drought-prone forest and an arid mountain environment that makes fires more difficult to fight.
