The day started in the worst way, this Sunday around 8 a.m. rue de la Fontenotte in Baume-les-Dames, when thick smoke was spotted at the Sombeveau farm, dedicated to pork farming.
On site, the fire had started to storm a room of about 30 m² which served as a nursery. The first person arrived on the scene had the right reflex, using a fire extinguisher. The dozen firefighters from Baume-les-Dames and Clerval then deployed a spear to cool the hot spots and ensure that no fire recovery was possible.
