AAfter the great fear, it's already time to return. Tuesday, November 5, a fire that occurred around 4:30 p.m. on the ground floor of the building 73 avenue des Lombards in Troyes led to scenes of panic and heroic gestures.
Two homes still inaccessible, including the apartment where the fire started
If, in the end, no victims were to be deplored, Troyes Aube Habitat had to rehouse the 54 tenants concerned, including the six taken to the Troyes hospital center. After a night spent in two hotels in the city, a large majority of them had the opportunity to return home this Wednesday, November 6 evening.
“There are two of them who will not be able to return immediately. The apartment where the fire started and another, victim of an electrical problem »specified Éric Protte, general manager at the lessor, this Wednesday in the middle of the day. The restoration of electricity, gas or heating took place gradually throughout the day, house by house. For electricity, some were not accessible due to the absence of their tenants.
Otherwise, repatriated by the TCAT on site, the tenants traveled between the building, the Troyes Aube Habitat des Chartreux agency and the neighborhood center to also sort out the administrative matters. “With them, our agents took stock of their rehousing possibilities, their insurance contracts as well as an update on claims declarations. We also prepared 50 meals for them for lunch”continues Éric Protte.
As for material damage to the building, the elevator shaft will have to be repainted. But nothing compares with the fires of November 2022 and January 2023, in the neighboring rue du Berry.
