A fire broke out during the night of Wednesday November 6 to Thursday November 7, in a vehicle under repair, parked near the Motrio automobile garage, 7, rue des Peupliers, in Chauvé (Loire-Atlantique). The fire spread to the mechanical workshop, the rear part of which was damaged. It was while making her rounds at 5:15 a.m. that the newspaper carrier saw flames escaping from a vehicle. She immediately notified the owner of the garage and the firefighters.
The newspaper carrier's alert
I arrived on site five minutes after the call from the press porter, I opened all the taps and I started to fight the fire using fire extinguishers.
explains Nicolas Bahuaud, owner of the garage created in 2019. He will empty five fire extinguishers before the arrival of the firefighters who have taken over.
The damage could have been greater without the carrier's alert. A customer's car burned, without currently knowing the origin of the fire. The rear of the garage is very damaged, particularly the changing rooms. Equipment was damaged, including the wheel balancer among others,”
lists the mechanic.
Despite the fire, activity will be able to continue for the four employees of the Motrio garage.
