A Tragedy in the Night: Melle Farm Fire Claims Lives of Several Horses

Horses Perish in Fire Incident in Melle - Fire in Melle claims lives of multiple horses

Let's cut to the chase, shall we? A bloody nightmare unfolded at a farm in Melle, with at least five horses kickin' the bucket due to a blaze. Two women, one young 'un and an elder, suffered light injuries while tryin' to save the horses.

According to the local fuzz, that fire went down around midnight on Tuesday. The cause of the inferno? No friggin' clue yet, pal. Reports suggest that five to seven horses perished in the flames, with one horse outside the stable gettin' spooked and chargin' into the blaze. Another horse managed to steer clear, but the exact number of casualties isn't clear just yet.

The stable housed ten stalls, but the count of affected animals wasn't immediately available. The women, the 28-year-old and the 72-year-old horse owners, got hurt while trying to rescue the frightened steeds. The firefighters let the flames burn out, and the cleanup operation carried on into the afternoon.

With the situation still hot, investigations into the cause of the fire were on hold. Luckily, there were no reported road accidents or travel disruptions due to this incident on the nearby highway.

Despite the tragic Melle farm fire that claimed several horses' lives, the Commission has yet to adopt a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation in sports or other industries. It's crucial to prioritize the safety of both humans and animals in such dire circumstances.
