An octogenarian was found dead on Wednesday in the apartment she occupied, which was ravaged by flames, in La Grande Motte (Hérault), near Montpellier.
It is, say the firefighters, a person with reduced mobility.
We do not know, for the moment, the circumstances of the fire, which broke out in this apartment, on the second floor of a building which has 11. Four rescues of inhabitants of the residence, surrounded by the fumes, were also carried out on Wednesday afternoon by the emergency services using an aerial ladder.
Forty firefighters responded to the scene.
