“ They had just finished cleaning the entire garage to remove the soot. And here it starts again! » This tenant of the Athénas residence does not hide his anger. “ I don’t know who the arsonists are who are having fun doing this, but it’s no longer possible. »
Shortly after midnight on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, a car parked in this parking lot spread over two levels was set on fire. Exactly the same scenario that occurred on April 2 at the end of the day. This time, the room was closed on both sides, “ a block of smoke therefore formed little by little, it was released when we opened the accesses », Explain the emergency services.
“We’re fed up! »
Very quickly, the plume of smoke invaded the entire neighborhood as far as rue Jean-Jaurès. Intrigued by the strong smell, a resident of the city opened his window. A very bad idea: the man was slightly poisoned by inhalation before being taken care of by the firefighters. However, his state of health does not cause concern. In the process, reconnaissance was carried out in several buildings in search of potential people inconvenienced by this incident.
In total, around thirty firefighters were called to the scene. The blaze was able to be extinguished without it spreading to other vehicles in the parking lot. Worried, several tenants still left their homes to store their cars. “ I’ve lived here for forty-five years, this is the first time we’ve seen such a situation. We’re fed up », assures one of them.
An investigation was opened overnight to determine the circumstances of this fire. The investigations are entrusted to the Maubeuge police station.
