A 74-year-old woman decided to have a barbecue in her own bedroom. It wasn’t the best idea she had.

She probably really wanted a good barbecue. Without the proper balcony, terrace or garden to do so.

A 74-year-old tenant decided to light a barbecue in her own room, Saturday June 15, 2024, in Tourcoing, in the North, reports Actu.fr.

Ravaged by flames

Around 11:45 p.m., the firefighters and police had to intervene, informed of a fire in progress in an apartment. Arriving on site, the firefighters noticed that the fire was destroying the entire apartment.

Police custody

If they quickly control the disaster, it is impossible to save the home. It is completely ravaged by flames. Only material damage was reported.

The septuagenarian will just declare "having had a barbecue in her room". She was taken into custody.
