A building evacuated as a precaution
Firefighters were dispatched around 4:40 p.m. to avenue de la Gare to put out the flames. The victim was found inside the passenger compartment. Given her state of health, she was not heard by the police, who will study her environment. The hypotheses of an accidental or deliberate fire outbreak are on the table. No evidence in favor of the intervention of a third party has been identified.
Firefighters evacuated a nearby building as a precaution as the fire began to spread to the facade. No accommodation was damaged.
