A rural building burned on Sunday morning in Peney-le-Jorat (VD) and the intervention of firefighters was still underway at the start of the evening. One person was taken to hospital in shock and another suffered a minor arm injury. Around thirty cattle were killed.
At least twenty people in the neighborhood had to be evacuated as a precaution. The fire caused a strong smell of smoke.
Transported by the wind, the volutes saturated the atmosphere and reached the towns located south of the village of Gros-de-Vaud. The displaced residents were able to find refuge in the community hall, open for the occasion.
