A real furnace. A fire destroyed at least two apartments this Thursday, July 24, 2025 in the afternoon in Martigues without making a victim. When the firefighters arrived around 1:30 p.m. in the impasse located in the Esperelles, the fire was generalized in this apartment located on the first floor of a building which has two.
Fire, the origin of which was unknown, would have been aggravated by the presence of nitrogen oxide bottles, some of which have exploded, running significant risks to the emergency teams.
The fire, so virulent as it was, was mastered by the firefighters after an hour of struggle, but the apartment was completely destroyed, just like the one located above. The heat was such that the structures may have been damaged. The tenants had been able, just before, to extract from the premises and no victim is to be deplored. Many residents do not hide their anger, evoking a “predictable” situation. Indeed, according to our information, the police are regularly called to bring calm to this building.
