Demineurs

Les demineurs are the designated deminers employed by a private sector of the french government. The existence of their jobs is left ambiguous because the work is often too dangerous to admit to. They scrounge the French forests in search of te left overs of the world wars. Surpsingly the first world war was the biggest culprit, as France still had power then, before all their farms and land was blow the bits. Decades later and the copper-line mines are still out there and who knows how many still haven't popped. The demineurs take it upon themselves to scope out the ticking bombs and rescue them from their environments upon which they intrude. Local villagers and farmers call their mayors to report mysteriuos metals and demineurs get more scratchy calls on their radio for help in a farm field. They have all known victims and they continue to unknowingly offer themselves up to firey ends.
