When the fire broke out, this Wednesday, May 26 around 10 p.m., the firefighters advised them to lock themselves in a room and stay near the windows. So, the mother took her two young children aged 3 and 8 and followed the instructions, while waiting for help to arrive rue Emile-Binda in Trieux. A van from the Audun-le-Roman barracks, a rural tanker from that Trieux-Tucquegnieux, as well as the large scale of Val de Briey were sent to the scene.
The fire, which raged between the ceiling of the 2nd floor and the attic, was quickly brought under control. The three occupants of the apartment were taken from the dwelling by the large ladder. “The teams then made holes in the floor to extinguish all the hot spots,” said Lieutenant Vincent Poésy, group leader.
The family, who inhaled fumes, were transported to Bel-Air hospital in Thionville. Another mother and her 16-month-old baby were also transported for the same reasons.
If the accommodation from which the fire started is now uninhabitable, those adjoining have not been affected. They have been broken down. And around midnight, the inhabitants were able to reach their respective homes. The gendarmes of the COB of Audun-le-Roman, Enedis and GrDF were also present. The fire is said to be of accidental origin.
