A major fire ravaged the church of Bioussac, in Charente, this Sunday, April 14. The fire started around noon, just after the Angelus.
A major device was deployed to fight against the spread of the flames. The damage is significant, with a church without a frame, a vault which risks collapsing and very damaged bells which could fall at any time. The causes of the fire remain to be determined, says the mayor of the town, Pierre Poux.. A partially destroyed roof, flames ravaging a frame and a security perimeter has also been set up. The fire was brought under control very quickly thanks to the barracks who arrived within the next quarter of an hour, congratulates the mayor. The church was completely destroyed, but the damage is not irreparable, he adds. The mayor regrets the damage, which he calls “irreparable.” and “unbearable.’ “This is irreparable damage,” regrets theMayor.
