Volunteer firefighters have been called up from their day jobs all over France this summer to help battle wildfires.

French volunteer firefighter Aurelie Ponzevera poses next to a firefighter truck at the Ajaccio’s fire station, in Ajaccio, on the French Mediterranean island of Corsica on August 12, 2022. – “My mom, she extinguishes fires”: It is in particular for the pride that she reads in the eyes of her three-year-old daughter that Aurelie Ponzevera, a volunteer firefighter in Ajaccio for ten years, devotes many of her weekends ends in the service of others.

They have been on the frontline dousing flames this summer as the country tackles a historic drought and a series heatwaves that experts say are being driven by climate change. When he is not on duty once every five weeks in the northwestern village of Quelaines-Saint-Gault, Pottier works preparing orders for a large dairy products manufacturer.

Large companies, including the national gas and electricity providers, on Friday said they would do their best.In the beginning, it was not very enthusiastic about him volunteering his time, says Pottier, who has been on call to fight fires for more than three and a half years.“We’re good at spotting risky situations within the company, which helps to avoid work accidents.”

But when they rush to help extinguish the flames, volunteer firefighters are not paid a salary like their peers. But this has been slipping, according to Olivier Grauss, who works as a firefighter in the eastern town of Selestat and also volunteers in the smaller village of Obernai “out of passion”.“There are more and more women, but often the women stop after they have a child,” said the 34-year-old, who has been a volunteer firefighter since he was 16.
