A fire broke out at the Dienville port in the Aube department on Wednesday, September 23, around 7 a.m., prompting a swift response from local firefighters. According to the department’s rescue services (SDIS), two pleasure boats sank as a result of the incident, but there were no injuries reported. When firefighters arrived at the scene, they found that the boats had already sunk. A third vessel, which was already damaged, may have also been affected by the fire, though this could not be confirmed at the time. The fire primarily caused surface pollution from spilled fuel, and firefighters focused on managing this environmental impact. The operation was completed by midday, and navigation in the port was temporarily suspended during the intervention. Representatives from specialized units, including the pollution barrier and chemical risk cells, were also present at the scene to assist with the cleanup and containment efforts. Sixteen firefighters were deployed to the location, according to the SDIS. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. The Dienville port is a popular spot for recreational water activities, including motorboating, water skiing, and jet skiing. The port’s website also mentions that it offers various leisure activities, such as dance evenings and animations, for visitors of all ages. According to local media, Est Éclair, the two affected vessels were between 5 and 6 meters in length.
