# Gironde: Aftermath of the summer 2026 wildfires > Three months after the summer wildfires that devastated 37,000 hectares in Gironde, the mayor of Saumos, where the fire started, testifies and hopes for reinforced management of wildfire risk. On October 26, Lège-Cap-Ferret is distributing 2,000 trees to its residents to regreen gardens, while the maritime pine sector in the Landes seeks to rebuild in the face of a colossal loss of income. On October 27, an application created in Lacanau during the wildfires to coordinate volunteers now aims to help local authorities reduce risks. On October 29, in Le Porge, victims whose 183 homes were destroyed are still waiting for compensation and permanent rehousing. Still in Le Porge, emergency work is underway against the risk of flooding, with destroyed soils and blocked ditches no longer retaining water. **In brief**: Ongoing story bringing together 6 events in 2 departments (Gironde, Landes), followed from 25 October 2026 to 29 October 2026. 8 articles from 5 sources (environment, society); last updated on 29 October 2026 at 16:17. - Status: ongoing - Category: Environment, Society - Place: Gironde, Landes - First detected: 25 October 2026 at 08:15 - Updated: 29 October 2026 at 16:17 - Web page: https://acturadar.com/en/stories/73-gironde-aftermath-of-the-summer-2026-wildfires ## Reported figures - quatre millions d’euros ## Timeline (6 events) ### 25 October 2026 — [Gironde : le maire de Saumos raconte le contrecoup après les incendies de l'été](https://acturadar.com/en/events/161-gironde-le-maire-de-saumos-raconte-le-contrecoup-apres-les-incendies-de-l-ete.md) Didier Chautard, maire de Saumos où a démarré le feu ayant dévasté 37 000 hectares en juillet, témoigne trois mois après les faits.
