According to the elected official, it was an “accidental fire”. The information was confirmed by François-Xavier Lauch, the prefect of Hérault, on his account.

The rapid intervention of the firefighters made it possible to prevent the spread of the disaster, the cause of which is, for the moment, unknown, to other apartments.
