Songon : des secours empêchés d’intervenir lors d’un incendie

A serious incident occurred in the town of Songon on Wednesday, February 4, 2026 , when a fire broke out near the local market. Alerted at 7:44 p.m. to a burning shop , the military firefighters immediately deployed the necessary resources to intervene.

After a journey slowed by traffic, the vehicles of the 4th company arrived on the scene at 8:23 p.m. But instead of finding a population awaiting rescue, the firefighters faced unexpected hostility . Stones were thrown at the responders, turning the rescue operation into a dangerous situation.

The watch commander was injured , several firefighters had to take cover, and the operation could not begin. Forced to retreat to protect their physical safety , the emergency services left the scene, leaving the fire to continue spreading, unable to intervene.

This incident raises a troubling question about respect for emergency services . Attacking those who come to help delays rescue efforts , exacerbates the damage , and exposes lives to unnecessary risk. Behind every uniform are women and men committed to protecting the community, often at the peril of their own safety.

Authorities and emergency services officials are calling for collective responsibility . Ensuring the safety of first responders is essential for an effective response to emergencies. Because on the day the alert affects each of us, the sound of sirens must never mean danger for those operating them.
