Southwest France continues to experience wildfires that have affected an area of up to 42,000 hectares, leading to disruptions in communication networks in the affected regions. As part of the support efforts, Orange and Bouygues Telecom have launched a special offer granting non-customers in the impacted areas 200GB of free internet until August 31, 2026, in addition to phone and messaging services. Additionally, Elon Musk's Starlink has announced its readiness to activate satellite internet services if requested by French authorities, following the same step taken in Spain. Despite the situation, authorities have confirmed that the "FR-Alert" emergency notification system remains operational and effective, and have urged citizens to activate the service to receive alerts and ensure safety in the region.
