Sapeurs-Pompiers to the Rescue

Driving home today from Chatellerault this morning, we came upon an "incident"..

It's not every day you see two cars on fire after a collision. I didn't like the look of the flames under the blue van and we weren't going to hang around and find out what happened next..

I guess there'd be two shocked drivers and a home owner with a scorched wall and charred hedge...

Not what you expect to see on your way home with the shopping!

If the pompiers hadn't been there...
by French motoring law, you must stop and assist.
Using your fire-extinguisher, of course...
I love the fact that no one has stopped the traffic...
in the UK, this would be all roads in a ten mile radius jammed solid....
for twelve hours....
and all homes in the vicinity evacuated!
It will be in the Nouvelle Republique on Monday!!
