On the other hand, it was in acrid smoke that the SDIS men had to intervene. The flames devoured a stock of hay inside, on nearly 200 m2.

As a precaution, the students and staff of the college of Barattes, not very far, were instructed to remain confined, for nearly 30 minutes, in order to avoid breathing the toxic plume.
