For the department's seven other forest massifs, the risk is considered moderate. These include the Monts Toulonnais, the Corniche des Maures, the Îles d’Hyères, the Haut Var, the Sainte-Baume, the Plateau de Canjuers, and the Estérel.
In case of a fire outbreak, it is recommended to call 18 or 112.
