Firefighters have been deployed since early evening in Lussan to a company where a fire broke out.

Firefighters deployed a large extinguishing system in Lussan to a company where a fire apparently broke out early in the evening. Significant resources were deployed by the teams of the departmental fire and rescue service (Sdis) to limit the spread of the flames. “Since 6:30 p.m., Gard firefighters have been fighting a fire in an industrial building located in the Grand Lussan business park in the town of Lussan. It is a company that stores paper and office equipment.
When the first engine arrived from the Méjannes le Clap fire station,
the building was already partly ablaze and despite the deployment of a dozen vehicles manned by around forty firefighters from surrounding fire stations, the building was completely destroyed but there was no spread to neighbouring third parties. The fire is currently in the extinguishing phase but a presence will be necessary for a good part of the night. The shocked owner was taken care of by an ambulance and a nurse but his condition did not require evacuation to a hospital structure. All partner services were present on the scene in order to contribute to the smooth running of the intervention (safety of road traffic, water network, securing of electrical installations). Even if the intervention is in its final phase, it is recommended not to go to the scene “, indicated this Friday evening the press release of the departmental fire and rescue service of Gard.
