This is a delicate operation for the firefighters of the North who have been mobilized on a fire since 4 hours, this Friday, January 3, at the old cafeteria in Koné. This old renovated two-storey building, which belongs to Sic, houses the offices of the social landlord, as well as the North bookstore, where the disaster started according to the firefighters who were still on site at 8 a.m. This part of the building was completely destroyed by the flames.
Risk of collapse
“Our objective was therefore to protect the other partyslips Commander Sylvio Loquet. Although the fire is now under control, there is still a risk of collapse because upstairs there is a wooden floor, as well as wooden beams still burning which we are still treating.”

Agents whose days are very busy since they have already had to intervene, earlier in the night, on a fire starting from the terrace of a home in the Bellevue subdivision, without forgetting the bush fire which raged, the eve, Thursday, in the Kataviti subdivision.
