This Friday, 8,000 chicks were killed in a fire at a Pannece breeding facility in Loire-Atlantique. The departmental fire and rescue services (SDIS) stated that all the animals died in the fire.
When help arrived at 7:01 a.m., the 1,000-m2 building was completely on fire. Three water hoses were used to extinguish the flames, as well as a foam cannon. The fire’s cause was not known.
Ouest-France asked the breeder if the chicks had arrived on the previous day. He said, “We were finally resuming activity after three months of no poultry due to the bird flu.”
