Le Figaro Nice
Even if it is a
“classic”
,
“usual”
and
“apprehended”
procedure , it is difficult to interpret this decision as a sign of appeasement in the Moulins district of Nice.
From this day, the firefighters will intervene in this sensitive and parasitized district by drug trafficking escorted by the police, learned
Le Figaro
.
The decision was taken after discussions between the two entities and feedback from the field.
This procedure follows
“a risk of violence identified”
at the Moulins by the police.
Present on a daily basis and with measures reinforced in recent times, they carry out arrests every day to dismantle the networks.
In its now weekly update, the Alpes-Maritimes prefecture indicated 62 arrests last week.
This can also strain the situation between buildings and rival gangs.

The Sdis of the Alpes-Maritimes confirms:
“It is a procedure that we master and that we apply in the case of a particular event or difficulties in a place”.
The relevance of this device will be reassessed
“from day to day”
according to the evolution of the situation, adds the firefighters.
It is therefore not systematic.
Before intervening in the neighborhood, the police and firefighters will gather upstream before entering the city.
“Until the risk of violence decreases”
, continues a police source.
“In the event of a really urgent situation, we will always come back to help people”
, wishes to qualify the Sdis 06. These co-interventions between police and firefighters take place, for example, on December 31 or during crowds.
Monday morning, new facts suggest that the situation remains tense at Les Moulins and that it would not be unrelated to the application of this provisional procedure.
A group of hooded people dressed in black was walking through the neighborhood, said a police source, who was warned by residents.
Among them, an individual was arrested by the Nice anti-crime brigade.
He could be the cause of beatings on another individual, taken care of by the firefighters.
The latter specify that they intervened for a brawl in the morning.
The 25-year-old man was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
The presence of weapons has not been confirmed or denied by law enforcement at this stage.
