An intentional fire on Pinel

Just this once, the rangers from the Réserve Naturelle intentionally set a fire on the island of Pinel,
with special authorization from the prefecture. The fire was necessary to burn the excess vegetation collected after the passage of hurricane Gonzalo in October 2014, as the debris was too massive – around 100 cubic meters – to allow natural deterioration. With firemen at hand, and help from local restaurateurs, this impressive monticule was reduced to ashes.
