False fire alarm at Metz Cathedral this Saturday afternoon

It was 2:15 p.m. this Saturday afternoon when the Metz firefighters were widely mobilized for a very special intervention. At this moment, a cathedral fire alarm just triggered. “We have special procedures for this kind of intervention and we are very vigilant since the fire at Notre Dame in Paris.“, says a firefighter.

False alarm

Once there, it was necessary to evacuate the people inside, then immediately try to identify the source of the fire. Fortunately, more fear than harm, this was a false alarm: no fire start was found in the structure of the building. It now remains to identify the cause of the triggering of this alarm, which remains a mystery for the moment.
