Toulouse: firefighters fight an apartment fire in La Reynerie
An apartment fire mobilizes firefighters in the La Ryneire district of Toulouse. The building was evacuated. There would be no injuries. The wind complicates the intervention.
Forty firefighters have been engaged since 2:40 p.m. to fight an apartment fire, rue Erik-Satie, La Reynerie district, in Toulouse.
The fire started in an apartment on the 10th floor. The gusts of wind complicated the intervention of the firefighters. Flaming debris fell especially on the balconies, causing new outbreaks of fire.
Many residents were evacuated by firefighters and police. For the moment, there are no injuries but the firefighters are completing reconnaissance to verify that no one has been trapped by the smoke in the apartments of this twelve-storey building.
The police are on the spot. An investigation will be opened to determine the origin of the disaster.
The report of the firefighters carried out at 6 p.m. does not mention any injuries. Specialists in “building risk” from the departmental fire and rescue service are on site. They must examine the cracks which would have appeared on the balcony of the 10th floor, undoubtedly because of the heat released by the disaster. The 10th floor apartment, where the fire originated, was completely destroyed.
