Lundi midi, un incendie accidentel a partiellement détruit un studio situé à l'angle de la rue du Change et de la rue de Châteauneuf, au dernier étage d'un immeuble du Vieux-Tours. Une quarantaine de pompiers sont intervenus avec la grande échelle et le bras élévateur articulé (BEA). Le sinistre n'a pas fait de victime.
00:00We are in front of a fire in an apartment located on the last floor of a building R4.
00:07So communication obviously with the roof of the building and therefore with a risk of propagation on adjacent buildings in the direction of the main square.
00:26We hear about an electric radiator fire. Did you see that the cynic took it close to this radiator?
00:33So we have no information on the cause of this fire. For now, what we can say is that the last floor is completely burnt.
00:40And there are also water leaks on the third and second level. So there are certainly water leaks in the whole building.
00:49We are about the relocation. We are on, for now, two people. But we will try to tear down the whole roof to allow other people to get into the apartment.
01:00The fence is completely burnt?
01:03The fence is partially burnt. So we will make sure to remove everything that is part of the burnt part.
01:10And then in a way to leave the dry part and check that the fireplace also does not fall.
01:14I happened to know that I had the tenant of the fourth floor who was at my house. We were talking about the furniture.
01:20The tenant of the apartment in which the fire took place?
01:23Absolutely. So we were there right away and of course representing that there were no gas bottles and things.
01:30A probability of a fire in a radiator, even though it was new.
01:35For now, we do not know, the firefighters will determine.
01:37No hypothesis.
01:38But there is a possibility that it is an electric radiator?
01:40Yes, exactly.
01:41Because it is the only mode of heating, there is no fireplace?
01:44No fireplace and there were no gas bottles, no things like that. There was a microwave oven, but we know very little about it.
01:51So no hypothesis.
01:53The electrical restoration was recent, a few years ago.
