Since 12:15 p.m. this Thursday, a fire broke out in a studio located in an isolated dwelling, impasse des Marguerites, in Cuers. Emergency services are being mobilized in large numbers to control the flames.
Rapid and significant mobilization
Alerted at the beginning of the afternoon, the Var firefighters immediately went to the site with a substantial device. The intervention currently mobilizes 18 firefighters spread across several vehicles: three firefighting machines, an aerial ladder, an ambulance and a command vehicle.
The resources deployed demonstrate the potential scale of the disaster and the teams' desire to avoid any spread of the fire to other neighboring structures, although the studio is located in an isolated dwelling.
No information on victims yet
No information regarding possible victims or people involved has yet been communicated. Firefighters are still working to contain the fire and secure the scene to allow, if necessary, access to possible medical treatment.
The causes of the fire remain unknown at this time. An investigation will probably be carried out to determine the exact origin of the fire once the intervention is completed.
