Subj: Re: [DR-L] Question for French members: Var
Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2003 12:48:28 -0400

Dear List,

There was a catastrophe with the fire in south of France in the area of
Toulon, when I staid on last week. I'm not sure if there is a problem for
our reeds plantation. We have this kind of fire fast every year in south of
France and there is solutions to avoid the propagation of fire. The biggest
problem is for area without houses and industry because the vegetation
isn't controlled.

And I think the industry of arundo donax know this eventuality of fire and
the solution for stopping this catastrophe.

Thanks for your question,

best,
