A woman died in a fire in an apartment in Nice on the night of Monday June 10 to Tuesday June 11, say the Alpes-Maritimes firefighters. Firefighters intervened shortly after 10:30 p.m. for a fire in an apartment located on the 11th floor of a building with 15 floors.
A woman in her thirties was taken from the apartment, in cardio-respiratory arrest. Despite a long attempt at resuscitation by emergency services, she could not be saved. The firefighter pronounced him dead at the scene.
Residents evacuated
Another woman, who felt unwell on the ground floor, was treated by emergency services.
Firefighters managed to bring the fire under control using a fire hose. The 11th floor of the building had to be evacuated during their intervention, but the occupants were able to return to their accommodation in the middle of the night.
In total, 25 firefighters and six engines were mobilized for this intervention. The municipal police and the national police were also present on the scene.
