Abstract :
Fire hazard is a "natural" risk whose fight, in France, is organized in a very centralized way. However, it depends on human activities and the threatened values are mainly the real values. So, it has a collective and individual dimension which questions on the allowance equity of the public budgets. In particular because the total costs mutualization tends to develop urbanization in area with high risk, in particular because they capitalize the landscapes in the real values.
