The Marche-en-Famenne firefighters were called this Thursday evening around 7:30 p.m. A fire started in a terraced house, near n ° 147, on Avenue de la Toison d’Or. The Marche firefighters remained on the job most of the evening to deal with the incident, using a pump, a tank and a lift, under the direction of Captain Gillardin accompanied by M. Balgé. The Rochefort firefighters arrived as reinforcements with a pump, a tank and a ladder.

The damage is significant, even if the firefighters gradually took over the blaze during the evening. However, the two families had to be relocated with relatives. The house in which the fire started is completely uninhabitable, while the terraced house was strongly impacted by the thick smoke. In addition, in addition to the material damage, two residents were taken to the hospital: one for a hand burn and the other for smoke poisoning.
