This work consists to the taking away of the gases emitted by the plants subjected to a fire. This is two original devices allow to follow the evolution of product gases by the plant on a ground of size real (25m X 50m) instrumented by different other sensors (thermocouples, fluxmeters, anemometers, cameras IR and visible). The ground consists of Cistus monspeliensis, Erica arborea, Arbutus unedo, Quercus ilex, Olea and Laburnum vulgare. The goal is on the one hand the characterization of the smoke in order to better warn the risks related to toxicities of the molecules present and in particular the BTX (Benzene, Toluene, Xylene) which are highly toxic compounds of which we could proportion their concentrations in the smoke, on the personnel intervening and of other by the analysis of various combustion gases resulting from the plant at various travel times of fire
