Fire spreads in residential building

A fire broke out in a residential building, spreading to the ceiling between the ground floor and the first floor. The fire was contained relatively quickly, but it caused significant damage to the structure.

Emergency services respond

Emergency services arrived promptly and set up a water jet to stop the fire from spreading further. Their efforts helped limit the damage, although the building remains uninhabitable.

Smoke spreads through ducts

Smoke emissions spread through the building’s ducts, despite a chimney fire occurring. The chimney had been recently installed and swept, which raised questions about the cause of the fire.

Residents relocated

The affected residents have been relocated by their families. While the building is not destroyed, it is currently unsafe for occupancy, and no official temporary housing has been provided yet.

Authorities arrive at the scene

The mayor, EDF services, and the gendarmerie have arrived at the scene. Their presence indicates that the situation is being taken seriously and that an official investigation will be conducted.

Investigation underway

An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the fire. Authorities are likely to examine the building’s electrical systems, the chimney, and any potential human factors that may have contributed to the incident.
