CONT

In almost any forest area intensively developed for timber production, a network of roads is established that constitutes a partial firebreak system as well. ...

OBS

Si l'on veut vraiment prévenir les grands incendies, il faut s'orienter délibérément vers un quadrillage, c'est-à-dire vers des réseaux où les pare-feu auront une largeur variable suivant la force des feux et la combustibilité des peuplements à protéger.
