In late July, the Ligue de Football Nouvelle-Aquitaine opened its regional technical center in Haillan to provide lodging and logistical support for approximately 50 firefighters battling wildfires in the Gironde department.

By late August, community support for the firefighting efforts continued through a charity golf tournament in the Tarbes region. Organized by the Association des seniors du golf des Tumulus, the event raised several thousand euros for the Œuvre des Pupilles (ODP), an organization that supports the families and orphans of firefighters who fought summer forest fires in regions such as Gironde, Landes, and Var.
