Breaking news. A spectacular fire broke out yesterday evening in a two-story house located in Tsaralalàna, near Anjary. The fire started around 6:22 p.m. and spread rapidly from the upper floor. Firefighters arrived on scene three minutes after the alert, but their intervention was complicated by difficult access to the building. The house is located approximately 200 meters from the main road and one of the gates was blocked, which delayed emergency responders' entry.
Neighbors reported seeing the flames spread too quickly. "We live very close by, the firefighters didn't arrive late, but the path to the house is complicated. They had to go through a corridor and force open a locked gate before they could intervene. It took time, but they eventually brought the fire under control. We thank them, they did their job," said a resident.
Around 8 p.m., firefighters were still conducting operations. The cause of the fire remains unknown at this time. No information was yet available about the house's occupants at press time.
