A large emergency response, made up of 14 firefighters, a Smur doctor and four ambulances, intervened shortly after 9 p.m. in the establishment. The operation lasted more than three hours as it was complicated for the emergency services to determine the causes of the different symptoms from which the victims suffered, not all of them having drunk the same substance.
In the end, two men aged 85 and 89 were transported to hospital in absolute emergency. The two other residents involved, an 85-year-old man and an 85-year-old woman, were also taken to a hospital but their condition was less alarming since the doctor classified them as relative emergency.
