A heroic future firefighter, a building on fire in the middle of the night, the beginnings of the feria: the essential regional news

He took charge of the victim and brought her to safety while alerting the emergency services. “A few days before an important exam for the rest of my training, I was treated to a great life-size rehearsal”, he confided.

A building catches fire

#MILLAU During the night of this Friday to Saturday, around 2 am, a fire broke out in a building in the city center of Millau (Aveyron). The firefighters quickly brought under control the flames that had broken out on the third floor and whose origin remained unknown, this Saturday.

By intervening quickly, the firefighters prevented the fire from spreading to adjacent buildings. They also rescued one person using the ladder and seven others were evacuated in the building at the time of the intervention. They will be rehoused and a woman is transported to the hospital in Millau due to inhaled fumes. Fifteen people were taken to safety by the national police.

Anti-Semitic attack: suspect tried tomorrow

#MONTPELLIERA 48-year-old man from Montpellier is suspected of having uttered anti-Semitic insults and of being the perpetrator of physical violence against a passenger on tram line 4 last Tuesday. He was placed in provisional detention on Friday and will be tried this Monday before the judicial court in an immediate appearance.

The perpetrator of the acts was particularly insistent and aggressive in order to find out whether his interlocutor, a Parisian traveler on vacation, was Jewish or not. He had left the train shouting “Jew of m…”.

The victim, aged 67, had immediately filed a complaint against an unknown person. A video posted on social networks had allowed him to be formally identified and traced back to his home. This attack prompted a reaction from Mayor Michaël Delafosse: “Those who propagate a climate conducive to anti-Semitism bear a heavy responsibility.” Prefect Lauch had insisted that “the national police services were fully mobilized to find the perpetrator of this serious act.”

The bulls from the feria are gradually arriving at the bullring

#BÉZIERS The first bulls from the Jandilla and Santiago Domecq farms in Spain have been unloaded into the corrals of the Béziers bullring since Friday. An operation that is always delicate and important.

In their corral and in silence, the eight bulls seem rather peaceful. “The bullfight begins there : a bull that is not properly loaded or unloaded, poorly received, stressed, can cause a bullfight to fail. Not to mention the risk of injuries between them…", confides Olivier Margé, the director of the arenas. “They landed in the greatest serenity, he specifies. I am very happy that this first part is going well. They must keep the juice and the nervousness for the fight."

The figure of the day: 37

#GARD Since February 8, it is mandatory to have a personal account in the SIA (Weapons Information System) to own, buy or sell a weapon.
