A storage shed, located at the rear of a residential house, was destroyed by flames in Ribay (Mayenne), along national road 12, Wednesday May 8, 2024 at the end of the afternoon. Clearing operations were underway around 8 p.m., once the fire had been extinguished.
The firefighters were notified by the gendarmes around 6:20 p.m. When they arrived, they discovered a fire in the annex, which is used for storage. There was a “significant smoke” according to the group leader, member of the general staff.
No victims
The firefighters have “contained the fire in the shed” to prevent it from spreading in the house, where people were. They were evacuated, before the firefighters made a hole in the frame of the house to evacuate the smoke and managed to put out the fire.
Two sheds and part of the roof of the house were affected by the fire.
There were no casualties and the causes of the fire are not known.
In total, 18 firefighters from the Javron-les-Chapelles, Lassay-les-Châteaux and Mayenne emergency centers were mobilized. During their intervention, traffic was regulated on the RN 12 by gendarmes from the Lassay-les-Châteaux brigade community.
