Thanks to rapid intervention by emergency services, the fire has since been brought under control. Fortunately, no casualties were reported.
The hotel closed until further notice
As soon as the alert was given, nine people occupying the hotel rooms were evacuated before emergency services arrived. They were taken care of by the town hall, which set up a temporary rehousing system. This evacuation prevented any injuries, although the fire spread very quickly in the establishment. Three lances, including one mounted on an aerial ladder, were necessary to control the flames and stop their progression.
The fire brigade intervention required a large-scale deployment, mobilizing 31 firefighters. However, the impact on the hotel structure is considerable. Following this incident, it was declared closed. It will now remain closed until further notice.
At the scene of the incident, the sub-prefect as well as the mayor of Bayonne were present to follow the progress of the intervention and provide support to the local authorities and the victims. This event highlights the importance of security measures in establishments open to the public and the responsiveness of emergency services to emergency situations. Please note that the causes of the incident remain unknown at this time.
