Fires in France reveal cache of nearly 400 World War II shells

The huge fires sweeping southern France have uncovered a cache of around 400 shells and old ammunition in the village of Le Porge, local authorities have announced.

During the fire, multiple explosions were heard, which were initially thought to be from gas canisters. It was later confirmed that they may have been leftover World War II ammunition that exploded due to high temperatures.

According to Mayor Martial Zaninetti, more than 100 explosions were heard during the second night of the fire. He compared the situation to the “sound of war,” adding that several shells were flying in different directions and one of them even passed through a house.

Following demining operations, most residents have been allowed to return to their homes. However, some areas remain closed for security reasons, including the ocean entrance, a campsite and the village of La Jenny.

Authorities said the ammunition discovered was of German and French manufacture and included mortar shells and anti-tank shells. According to the mayor, the ammunition depot was buried underground and local authorities were unaware of its existence.

The fire in the Gironde region, which raged for about 10 days, has now been brought under control. It destroyed more than 180 homes, as residents try to recover what is left of their properties.

French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu thanked firefighters for their work and declared that France has entered a new phase of managing the situation, with evacuees gradually returning to their homes.

Over the past two weeks, wildfires have swept through several European countries, particularly France and Spain, forcing the evacuation of over 330,000 people. In southwestern France alone, some 42,000 hectares of forest have burned, in one of the largest fires the country has experienced since World War II.
