Horror night in Reims: Four dead and a child misses at home fire!

In the night of June 6, 2025, a devastating fire broke out in a high-rise in the Croix-Rouge district in Reims. Despite the rapid intervention of the fire brigade, the fire was able to cost four people, including a child. Another child is still missing, which further fueled the concerns of the families concerned. According to the local prefecture, the numbers are still temporary and the exact cause of the fire is still in the stars.

The fire broke out shortly after midnight on the fourth floor of an eleven -storey house and spread out over the facade at lightning speed. The fire brigade, supported by around 62 firefighters with 15 vehicles and around 50 emergency services from the police and emergency services, was in use until early morning to fight the flames and to search for other possible victims in the burned -out apartments. The strong smoke developments led to the alarm of the rescue workers, which underlined the dramatic circumstances.

evacuation and support of those affected

Due to the catastrophic situation, around 40 people were temporarily accommodated in a nearby gymnasium, which was looked after by the Red Cross. Two adults had to be taken to the hospital with serious injuries, while twelve other people, including children, suffered minor injuries. The mayor of Reims, Arnaud Robinet, praised the rapid commitment of the police, who was the first to arrive at the scene and began evacuation of the residents.

A resident told of screams at night and expressed his great fear for his own apartment, which could have been affected by the fire. The entire neighborhood was cordoned off, which shows the drama of the situation again.
