Question 6024 — security of property and people

Summary

Mr. Grégoire de Fournas questions the Minister of the Interior and Overseas Territories on the number of pelicandromas installed in the South-West zone of France. He first recalls that, contrary to what the Minister affirmed before the members of the Laws Committee of the National Assembly on September 20, 2022, the pelicandrom is not a “small plane” but a filling area for water bombers. In New Aquitaine, there are only two pelicandromas, one in Mérignac in Gironde and the other in Limoges in Haute-Vienne. Given the size of the region, this mesh made up of only two filling points turns out to be very insufficient to guarantee the filling of the Dash during forest fires. Furthermore, during the major fires that occurred in Gironde in the summer of 2022, the Mérignac pelicandrome could not ensure the filling of more than 3 planes since the rotation of an aircraft is 30 minutes and the filling lasts 10 minutes. He asks him what measures he intends to take to increase the number of pelicandromas in New Aquitaine as quickly as possible. This could involve either the installation of a new pelicandrom - ideally located in Mont-de-Marsan - or the acquisition of a mobile pelicandrom which could be quickly installed at an airport as close as possible to every fire. He wants to know his position on the subject.
