A fire of rare violence occurred on Wednesday at the Ocass market in Touba. The fire, which broke out a little after eleven o'clock, lasted about two hours. The flames reached heights with the arrival of the fire soldiers who have toiled for a long time before mastering them with the help of armed populations of all kinds of utensils.
For the time being, the real circumstances of the incident are not yet known, and fire officials did not want to venture to indicate whether the causes are accidental or even criminal. As for the first assessment, it should be noted that two large mattress stores went up in smoke. The damage is already estimated at several tens of millions of CFA francs.
It is also necessary to note the difficulties experienced by relief workers in gaining access to the site because of the narrow roads leading to the places affected by the fire. Added to this is the indiscipline of traders who even make it difficult to access fire hydrants.
Note that this fire in the Ocass market in Touba comes about a year after that of the Ndoumbé market Diop of Diourbel. A firefighter died there by electrocution.
