The alert was given around 9:30 p.m. The Jura firefighters were called to a violent apartment fire in the city center of Dole (Jura). The fire broke out on the second floor of a building which has three floors, Place de la sous-préfecture.
On an amateur video, filmed from the palace and recovered by France 3 Franche-Comté, we see high flames escaping from the windows of the accommodation and two occupants trapped. They are rescued by firefighters who come to meet them with a ladder. Very impressive images of the blaze.
