"200 m2 of straw also went up in smoke," according to Sdis. One of the operators, "exposed to smoke" and considered by the firefighters as "lightly injured", was transported to the Hazebrouck hospital center. "The live chicks will be examined by a veterinarian and a decision on their fate will be made" by the veterinarian and the operator, it was said from the same source.
