The fire is over and nothing is shut
The Trégat fire was stopped on the evening of Tuesday 4 August and there were reports of it being fully out on 6 August. No evacuation and no road closure was reported at any stage, and no house was damaged.The departmental woodland order does not cover this commune
The préfet du Morbihan's order of 6 August restricts access and work in wooded massifs of more than four hectares in 80 listed communes. Theix-Noyalo, Treffléan and Vannes are not on that list. It runs until further notice, so read the current list rather than this line if you are walking elsewhere in the department.Heat, not fire, is the live warning
The Morbihan went to orange heat vigilance from midday on Tuesday 11 August. That is the thing to plan the day around: shade, water and an early start.Smoke was the widest effect and it has gone
The smoke from this fire and from a separate one at Missiriac was carried on the south westerly as far as Rennes and its suburbs on 4 August. That was a one-day effect and it is not a health warning now.Nearby alternatives to compare
- Vannes, the Gulf of Morbihan boat trips and the coast road were unaffected throughout and are working normally.
- If you are walking in woodland elsewhere in the Morbihan, check the préfecture's list of restricted communes for that day before you set off, because the order covers 80 of them and not this one.
- In orange heat vigilance, move a walk or a cycle to the early morning and keep any fire, including a disposable barbecue, off dry ground entirely.
