Incendie chez Benteler: le point à 14h30
Un incendie de grande ampleur à Saint-Ursanne. Il touche l’usine Benteler. Les pompiers ont été alertés peu après 12h30. Le feu a pris dans les sous-sols de l’usine selon la police. L’incendie est maitrisé. Les autorités ont demandé à la population de la ville de se confiner à l’intérieur de leur maison. Une mesure préventive toujours en vigueur. Il est désormais certain qu’il n’y a pas de danger dans l’air selon Damien Scheder, le chef du service de la sécurité et de la protection de la population du Canton du Jura. Les produits chimiques qui se trouvent dans l’usine n’ont pas été touchés par l’incendie. La police a bouclé un secteur de 300 mètres. Selon nos informations, une explosion s'est produite dans l'usine. Des barrages ont été installés sur le Doubs.
