The fire that occurred Thursday morning in the city center is no longer considered suspicious.
The investigation carried out this morning confirmed that the fire started in a mattress.
Even though the fire was quickly brought under control, two tenants were unable to return home. They were entrusted to the care of the Red Cross.
The others have already returned to their accommodation at the beginning of the afternoon.
Remember that a 36-year-old woman was arrested for obstructing the work of police officers.
