A fire truck used by firefighters was looted and set on fire in front of the Saint-Exupéry high school in Marseille's 15th arrondissement on Thursday, October 1st, according to BFMTV, citing consistent sources and the police prefecture of the Bouches-du-Rhône department. The incident occurred when firefighters were responding to a trash fire near the school and were attacked by a crowd. "Directly, hundreds of young people surrounded the firefighter vehicle, forcing them to leave it and then set it on fire," said the police prefecture. Law enforcement intervened to disperse the crowd. A first-response vehicle also deployed to the scene was set on fire, and one firefighter was slightly injured, according to the firefighters. Equipment inside the vehicle was also stolen, according to BFMTV sources. Laurent Nuñez, the Minister of the Interior, condemned the attack on social media, calling it an "act of gratuitous serious violence" and stating it was "unacceptable." He expressed his support for the firefighters of Marseille, saying, "These women and men intervene every day, day and night, to rescue all the residents of Marseille." He added that the perpetrators would "have to answer for their actions before the courts." According to a preliminary report released by firefighters at 12:15 p.m. on Thursday, more than 45 interventions were recorded in connection with the high school student demonstrations. "Many interventions are still ongoing," the firefighters said, adding that "some areas should be avoided to allow emergency services to intervene." Meanwhile, public transportation in Marseille was disrupted on Thursday due to "looting and attacks on drivers" that occurred in the morning as part of the high school movement, according to the Régie des transports métropolitains (RTM). Bus, tram, and metro services were affected, with some routes suspended.
