Wildfires in New Caledonia: Mont-Dore and Koné
On October 25, 2026, two fires were still active in New Caledonia, with more than 250 hectares burned in Koné and 30 to 40 hectares in Mont-Dore, with firefighters remaining mobilized. On October 26, a water-bombing helicopter pilot intervening against the Saint-Louis fire in Mont-Dore was threatened by an armed individual; the government condemned these threats and the prosecutor was seized of the case. On November 5, several brush fires mobilized firefighters and civil protection in the Koné region, particularly between Netchaot and Néami, where homes were reportedly threatened and a water-bombing helicopter was to be deployed.
