For lack of customers, the “Baaar” closes its doors

Opened last June, the establishment located on Place des Martyrs-de-la-Résistance in Alès is permanently closing its doors this Sunday. A premature end for this beer bar run by the local brewery Triple A, based in Ribaute-les-Tavernes. Despite events organized within its walls, the “BAAAr” said he lost to a “city center that was not busy enough in the evening in Alès.”

Volunteer firefighters: a worrying letter and a motion.

A letter from the general director of civil security and crisis management worries the Gard firefighters. The general management has given notice to nineteen Sdis, including a large part of the Mediterranean coast, "to adapt the conditions of exercise of their volunteer firefighters by significantly reducing their activity."
This Wednesday, the board of directors of Sdis du Gard voted on a motion to "recall the essential role played by volunteer firefighters, denounce the recommendations proposed by the ;general inspection of the administration which are not applicable as it stands by the Sdis du Gard." This motion recalls that during large-scale events linked to fires and episodes of torrential rain, "the Sdis rely heavily on the resources of firefighters volunteers." If these measures were implemented, "they would directly impact the operational capacities of departments such as Gard, which is among those most exposed to global security risks."
