PREFECTURE PRESS RELEASE / Fire on the Belle Créole site: owners must assume their responsibilities | FAXINFO
Loading...

This weekend of September 14, a fire broke out on the Belle Créole site in Baie Nettle, significantly mobilizing the emergency services.

The La Savane fire station, as well as various security services, intervened quickly to contain the disaster.
The origin of this fire lies in the accumulation of debris and bulky items on this private land, left without maintenance for a long period. This unsanitary situation, unfortunately recurring, contributes to increasing the risk of fire. Prefect Vincent Berton strongly deplores the inaction of the owner of this site, despite being made aware and ordered to maintain the premises for a year. The competent services of the local authority will be contacted to take the necessary steps to resolve this situation. The Belle Créole site, although private property, must be maintained and made safe in accordance with French legal obligations. The lack of maintenance not only encourages fires to break out, but also compromises the safety of residents and hinders local economic development. Faced with the persistence of this unacceptable situation, stricter measures are now being considered to ensure a rapid and definitive resolution. Public safety and the urban environment must be preserved.
