‘Despite the rapid and courageous intervention of the firefighters whom I salute, several victims are to be deplored. The intervention continues.’
Officials added that the terrible blaze tore through roughly 300 square metres of the 500 square metre building.

Local media reported that a total of 76 firefighters, four fire engines, and four ambulances were mobilised to contain the horrific blaze and treat the victims.

40 cops were also sent out to help.

A spokesperson for the Haut-Rhin prefecture said: ‘The fire was quickly brought under control despite the violence of the flames.

’17 people were evacuated. There is 1 person in relative emergency evacuated to the hospital and 1 shocked person. 11 people from the group of adults from Nancy are missing and still on call,’ they added.

The deputy mayor, present at the site, told reporters that the fire likely started on the ground floor in an old renovated barn converted into a gîte (self-service accommodation typically found in France’s rural districts).
