This fire quickly spread to an entire house with an area of 200m2. More than twenty firefighters, notably from the centers of Saint-Paul-lès-Dax and Dax, found the house completely engulfed in flames when they arrived.
The occupant of the house was treated by a medical team. This 66-year-old man was exposed to the fumes. He also had significant burns to his face and hands. His condition, considered serious, required his rapid evacuation to the spa town's hospital center.
