! WARNINGS! The risk of fire is mainly caused by human activity (for 90% of fire outbreaks). Most of these fires are caused by the careless and dangerous behaviour from both tourists and residents. They could therefore be avoided by having the right reflexes on a daily basis. Maintaining and clearing the bushes around the house is essential.
