Objective: to prevent the spread of flames to adjoining houses and to search for potential victims. The mission is delicate. When they arrive, the two-storey house is completely ablaze but they manage to limit the fire to this single dwelling. The neighbors were able to get out first.
However, the toll remains heavy: nine injured including a firefighter, with six of them evacuated to hospital for inhalation of toxic fumes. And especially two people found dead in the house. An elderly couple lived there.
