A fire in the city of Gardens

On Wednesday, around 12:45 p.m., a fire completely destroyed the roof of a pavilion in the Cité des Jardins, in Vierville-sur-Mer, without injuring anyone.

According to the newspaper, the fire had an accidental origin: a short circuit in the back kitchen of Suzanne Marie's house, aged sixty-one. Marcel Lepley, his sixty-four-year-old friend, who was in this room, immediately gave the alert. While the flames spread, the furniture had to be evacuated.

The houses being terraced, the fire began to reach the neighboring house. The firefighters of Trévières, reinforced by those of Bayeux, watered this second house to prevent the spread. They also removed a meter of tiles. The damage remained light.
