A fire broke out on Monday, November 4 at 11 a.m. at 3, rue de la Croix, in the town center of Rosiers-sur-Loire, near Saumur (Maine-et-Loire), mobilizing no less than five brigades of firefighters -firefighters: 23 firefighters intervened, from the centers of Saint-Mathurin, Doué-la-Fontaine, Beaufort, Saumur and Angers (Chêne vert). The fire was quickly brought under control.
The Beaufort group leader takes stock: Two people were poisoned by the fumes, a woman and a man. They were taken care of then evacuated to the Saumur hospital center. Two firefighters were also affected by the smoke but without consequences for them.

The two people evacuated to hospital are the tenant of the ground floor apartment, aged 25, and one of her neighbors, aged 31. A cat, along with a kitten and a dog were also evacuated. Enedis, called urgently, cut off the electricity to the building. This was not supplied with gas.
The causes remain to be determined
The house, adjoining the Loire Hôtel, has three apartments on three levels. On site, Gilles Beaumont, the owner of the building, speculates on the causes of the fire. We know he started from the ground floor. But we talked about a food processor and then a scooter
he specifies. We leave room for insurance experts. They are the ones who will determine the causes of the fire,”
explains the Beaufort group leader.
The accommodation is uninhabitable. A tenant, his face blackened by the smoke, addresses the deputy mayor of Rosiers-sur-Loire, who has arrived on site, for his rehousing. But the town does not have emergency housing. Your insurer should cover a hotel room for the first few nights
reassures Catherine Evillard.
