An ethanol heating lamp overturns, five customers of a restaurant burned in Cannes, three of them seriously

Arounda table from Caveau 30 on the Cours Félix Faure in around fifteen Italian MAPIC delegates were dining quietly, when an unfortunate gesture turned everything upside down.

A waiter showed up to fill the tank of the ethanol heating lamp.

But because with a sudden gesture (from a guest?), the lamp overturned before the protective tube was put back, a witness told us.

Five people were affected

A 35-year-old woman and two men aged 30 and 56 were seriously burned, all three evacuated to the hospital center. The woman by helicopter, the two men by road.

The other two, two men aged 54 and 56more lightly injured, were evacuated by firefighters to Cannes hospital.

The restaurant terrace was evacuated and a security perimeter was established by municipal and national police officers while central commissioner Christophe Haget visited the site.

An administrative investigation will undoubtedly have to establish whether or not there have been breaches of safety rules.

This accident in any case raises the question of the use of this type of lamp, common on terrace tables, where all traditional heating is prohibited.
