A fire broke out around 11 a.m. this Saturday in an apartment located on the ground floor of a five-storey building at 33, rue Vauban, in the Conseil des XV district of Strasbourg. Nine people were evacuated to the Hautepierre hospital, including one in absolute emergency.
Once there, firefighters rescued a 19-year-old woman in cardiopulmonary arrest. She was able to be resuscitated on the spot and then evacuated to the CHU Hautepierre. Eight other people, more lightly injured, were also taken to hospital. All the inhabitants of the building had to be temporarily relocated.
The operation mobilized about forty firefighters. Tram traffic was cut off during rescue operations.
