A fire broke out on the ground floor of a two-storey house in Montfaucon, mobilizing the Gard fire brigade. When they arrived on the scene, three occupants sheltering on the roof of the garage were quickly rescued. Despite the rapid and effective intervention of the emergency services, the damage was significant: the 90 m² house, invaded by smoke, is now uninhabitable.
A 40-year-old woman and a 5-year-old child, slightly poisoned by smoke, were transported to the Bagnols-sur-Cèze hospital center for examinations. The town hall immediately organized the rehousing of the three occupants to offer them a temporary solution.
A clothing drive to support the affected family
Faced with this tragedy, a surge of solidarity is being organized to help this family. A clothing collection was set up by the Montfaucon town hall. Donations can be dropped off directly at the town hall, where specific needs have been identified:
- For boys : clothes for 11 and 13 years old, shoes in sizes 38 and 39.
- For girls : clothes for 5 and 10 years old, shoes in sizes 30 and 36.
- For a 40 year old woman : clothing and shoes in size 40.
A call for generosity
The town hall thanks all residents in advance for their mobilization and generosity. Every donation counts to help this family rebuild after this ordeal. If you would like to contribute, do not hesitate to go to the town hall to drop off your donations or contact municipal services for more information.
