Several news items occurred this Tuesday, June 4 in Savoie and Haute-Savoie.
The Courier shopping center in Annecy hit by flooding
Part of the establishment had to be closed this Tuesday, June 4 due to the accidental rupture of a pipe shortly before 6 a.m. this morning. Water therefore flowed particularly at the main entrance where several stores were affected and suffered some material damage. Firefighters were therefore dispatched to the site to evacuate the water and carry out drying work and check the structures. The Courier shopping center was able to reopen its main entrance at midday, but several stores remained closed.

According to firefighters, the flames first hit the facade before spreading to the roof, for a reason that remains to be determined. A major rescue system was deployed on site, with nearly 70 firefighters and around thirty engines. The fire is under control but emergency services are still on site to carry out checks.
