About thirty firefighters are currently mobilized, this Saturday July 17 at midday, to contain a fire on a large extracurricular building in the town of Saint-Denis-de-Hôtel. Despite their intervention, from 10 am this Saturday morning, the 1,000 square meters of the site should be destroyed, either by flames or by water. The building, located rue du Clos-d’Or, was used for extra-curricular reception. Between 80 and 100 children are looked after there morning and evening, during the school year.The fire started from the roof.
No casualties but considerable damage
No casualties are to be deplored and there is no longer any risk of spread, but the damage is considerable. The fire started from the roof and quickly spread. “The investigation will tell us formally but the fire would have started from a short circuit on the photovoltaic panels, on the roof, according to the first observations, explains the mayor Arnauld Martin, on the spot. I have already requisitioned the technical services and, from Monday, we will have to find reception solutions for September. And bring down the building when we have the authorization. “
The flames are visible from afar.
The local gendarmerie is also present on the scene. The neighboring road is cut off.
