In Area Hit by Blaze, French Officials Failed to Enforce Wildfire Rules

French officials failed to enforce wildfire rules in an area recently hit by a devastating blaze. Homeowners are required to clear vegetation within 50 yards of their houses under French regulations. However, this rule was not adhered to in the affected forests, which were impacted by France's worst fire in decades. The lack of enforcement may have contributed to the severity of the fire.
