“A garage caught fire in Ecuvillens this Thursday morning. The firefighters are on site to master the flames. ” Several readers have pointed out to us that a fire had declared itself a little after 7:30 am in the Friborg town, supporting photos. “The panache is visible from the city of Friborg,” says a resident.
Cantonal police confirm the facts. “We do not yet know the exact causes of the fire, which is being under control. But there were no injuries, “reports spokesperson Gino Frangone.
Nine people living in neighboring buildings were evacuated as a preventive basis. The firefighters were able to circumscribe the disaster, however, before the fire spread to neighboring buildings, but the garage was ravaged by the flames, the cantonal police said in the middle of the day. The amount of the damage has not yet been estimated.
As for the thick black smoke which was visible in the morning from the municipalities of the region, the communicator explains that this can come from tires which would have caught fire in this private garage. An investigation was opened to try to determine the causes of the fire.
