🚨This second "summer 2025"  ORANGE Heatwave Alert 

Ended Tuesday August 19th, 2025 🚨

During a routine CCFF-RCSC patrol, the Roquebrune 6 crew was halted around 3:00 p.m. by individuals at the Bougnon Pass in the town of Roquebrune-sur-Argens.

They reported that a family member, who had been missing since 10:00 a.m. and whose car was parked in the Archery parking lot at the pass, had disappeared.

The crew radioed the Roquebrune leader, who then notified the Municipal Police.

They emphasized that the missing person suffered from health issues that could cause disorientation, according to the family.

While Initial searches proved unsuccessful, The Gendarmerie was subsequently called in, accompanied by one of their drone teams and a canine unit.

With the agreement of the Prefecture and the ADCCFF of Var, crews from neighboring municipalities were swiftly deployed, along with all available RCSC-CCFF resources from Roquebrune-sur-Argens.

In total, 49 individuals participated in this mission, including 39 volunteers, 5 from the Gendarmerie, 5 firefighters, a dog, and a firefighter drone. The team was led by a SDIS officer, three non-commissioned officers, and a volunteer operations director, Mr. Francis Lemoine (Roquebrune Leader).

Around 8:00 p.m., after drone and dog searches yielded no results, two CCFF-RCSC teams from Roquebrune set out on foot to scout the trails. Other teams were preparing to depart.

At 8:12 p.m., a radio transmission announced that one of the RCSC teams had made contact with the missing person, who was disoriented and dehydrated, believing they had spent two days in the mountains ("it was a hard night," they said). This team brought the individual back to the temporary operational headquarters at Col du Bougnon to be treated by VSAV and SDIS medical personnel.

All teams disengaged around 9:00 p.m., after which a well-deserved snack was offered to everyone present.

We would like to express our gratitude to the municipalities and all the volunteers from Fréjus, Puget-sur-Argens, Saint-Raphaël, Sainte-Maxime, Le Muy, and Plan de la Tour, as well as those from Roquebrune-sur-Argens, who once again made themselves available at short notice.

The Agricultural Festival has been an amazing time this Sunday in Roquebrune-sur-Argens.

 A new season is about to start ! 

Therefore, on Saturday, an internal training day was organized by the RCSC-CCFF of Roquebrune-sur-Argens in the surrounding massifs.

Out targets were to :

• Train new recruits to operate in the field within the patrols deployed daily from late June to September, and to handle situations and movements in forested areas.
• Train and evaluate volunteers with a few seasons of experience in field supervision.
• Create group dynamics and strengthen team cohesion.

 From the Lieutenant's track at La Bouverie in the north of the commune, passing through Les Clapiers, Gayol, and the lower part of Bastide Neuve where a countryside picnic provides a chance to eat and exchange ideas, then through Valcologne, Peigros, the lookout point of Sainte Maxime with its superb view of the bay of Saint Tropez, and finally Col de Valdingarde, the missions follow one after another at a good pace before returning to the command post for vehicle cleaning and a global debriefing.

The national anthem, "La Marseillaise" was sung by the village children, and the parade of the flags concluded the ceremony.

Following this historic commemoration, at the invitation of the respective twinning committees, a poignant and hopeful ceremony brought together stakeholders and elected officials from Pfinztal (Germany) and Roquebrune-sur-Argens.
