法国西南部波尔多附近的一场大型森林野火，在勒波尔热村暴露了二战时期的炮弹。经过数日排雷作业后，所有居民已于周一返回家园。
据当地当局消息，在这场大火摧毁180余栋房屋的区域内，已回收约400枚炮弹及弹药残骸。
消防队长托马斯·米米亚格表示，火灾期间曾传出爆炸声，起初被误认为是燃气罐爆炸，但实际上可能是这些炮弹被引爆。
据英国广播公司新闻报道，火灾发生的第二个夜晚，现场共传出超过100次爆炸。市长马蒂亚尔·扎内蒂告诉法国新闻媒体法国资讯台，这些爆炸声酷似“战争之声”。

“我们市镇范围内的地下曾埋藏有弹药库，但我们此前并不知情，它们就这样爆炸了，”扎内蒂在接受法国资讯台采访时说道。
扎内蒂还称，“甚至有一枚炮弹击穿了一栋房屋”。
这批弹药既有德军的也有法军的，主要为迫击炮弹，另有一些高爆反坦克炮弹。

“我们并不完全清楚它们为何会出现在这里；我们认为它们只是被遗弃在了当地，”米米亚格说道。
入夏以来，法国多地频发野火，尤其是波尔多地区。这场该地区自1949年以来最严重的火灾已在燃烧约10天后得到控制，过火面积超过9.9万英亩，未波及当地主要葡萄酒庄。
战争遗留弹药在法国早有出现。去年，巴黎附近繁忙的北站铁路线附近发现一枚未引爆的二战炸弹，导致列车一度停运。2012年，马赛曾疏散约1000名民众，以便官员移除一枚重达1吨的二战德军炸弹。

World War II explosives emerge and detonate in wildfire-ravaged village in France: “Sound of war”

A huge forest fire near Bordeaux in southwestern France has revealed World War II shells in the village of Le Porge, where all residents returned to their homes on Monday after days of demining operations.
Around 400 shells and pieces of ammunition have been recovered in the area where over 180 homes were destroyed by flames, according to local authorities.
During the fire, blasts were heard, initially mistaken for exploding gas cylinders, but they may have been these shells, according to fire commander Thomas Mimiague.
According to BBC News, more than 100 explosions were heard on the second night of the fire, and Mayor Martial Zaninetti told French news outlet France Info the blasts were similar to “the sound of war.”

“There were ammunition depots buried in land within our municipality, but we didn’t know it, and they exploded,” Zaninetti told France Info.
Zaninetti said there was “even one that went through a house.”
The munitions, both German and French, consist mainly of mortar shells, along with some high-explosive anti-tank shells.

“We don’t really know why they’re there; we think they were just abandoned,” Mimiague said.
Numerous fires have broken out in France since the start of the summer, particularly in the Bordeaux region, where the most serious blaze since 1949 has now been brought under control after burning more than 99,000 acres in about 10 days, without reaching the major wine estates of the region.
Munitions from the war have surfaced in France before. Last year, trains were brought to a halt around Paris following the discovery of an unexploded bomb dating back to World War II near tracks serving the French capital’s busy Gare du Nord station. In 2012, about 1,000 people were evacuated in Marseille so officials could remove a 1-ton German bomb from the war.
