Fire risk in Siders: 50 people evacuated, 17 slightly injured!
In a dramatic incident on Sunday, January 12, 2025, broke out a fire in the basement of a building in Siders, Switzerland, which led to a large -scale evacuation. Around 50 people had to be brought to safety from two neighboring buildings on Rue de Sion. According to fireworld.at , seven firefighters and about ten civilians were admitted to Sitten as a precaution after they were exposed to slight smoke poisoning. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries. The incident was reported at around 7 a.m., whereupon the Rue de Sion was closed to traffic at short notice to facilitate the work.
The cause of the fire is so far unclear because the public prosecutor's office has initiated an investigation. The emergency services, including the Valais cantonal police and the fire brigades of Siders and Sion, were quickly on site to control the situation. Such large rescue operations place high demands on the emergency services and their coordination to protect people and minimize damage, especially in urban areas where narrow spaces can often represent problematic escape routes.
urban planning under artistic principles
Although the cause of the fire is still unclear, the incident in Siders shows how important security aspects are in urban areas. At the same time, Sitte’s work reminds us that the design of public spaces is crucial for how residents and visitors experience the city. The interaction between fire and urban planning is of the greatest importance for the future of our urban habitats.
