It was the farm owners who contained the blaze while awaiting firefighters’ intervention.
The poultry farmer and a carpenter a few rows down the road can’t hide their concerns about response times and what the consequences could be after the abolition of their community’s fire department.
Joël Ménard, the breeder, considers his misfortune lucky. When nearly 13,000 chickens suffocated, the fire that broke out at the end of his third and final chicken coop was contained.

He and his two sons probably had something to do with it, because equipped with fire extinguishers they managed to prevent the flames from spreading to the roof while waiting for firefighters.
According to witnesses, it would have taken a dozen minutes for a truck from Drummondville to arrive at the scene.
After the arrival of reinforcements from Saint-Nazaire, the four engineers waited five minutes before they could start irrigating.
Ghyslain Martel’s joinery is two kilometers from Joël Ménard’s chicken coops. This reaction time does not calm him down in any way.
Due to the combustible materials there and the lack of a rapid reaction force, he considers his business extremely risky.

That’s not counting the increase in his insurance premiums, which will increase by 50% since his community has no more firefighters.
Last night’s fire is suspicious. In the part of the burned building there was no electricity and the door to the chicken coop was forced open.
Joël Ménard and Ghyslain Martel are among the thirty companies that have signed the formal notice demanding the reinstatement of the fire service.
The Qatar sovereign wealth fund, one of the largest investors in the world and a relevant shareholder in numerous international companies, is entering American professional sports. It will do so by acquiring a 5 percent equity interest in Monumental Sports & Entertainment, the group that includes the Washington Wizards men’s basketball team of the NBA, the Mystics women’s basketball team of the WNBA and the Capitals hockey team of the NHL belong to Sportico, an American media company specializing in financial information on sports.
The operation means the group is valued at $4,050 million, about €3,700 million at the current exchange rate. As such, it is an investment estimated by the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) to be around $200 million, although the information does not indicate whether debt is included in this valuation. QIA is an investment giant with a portfolio valued at more than $450,000 million. In Spain, the largest investment is 8.7% of Iberdrola worth more than 6,000 million euros.
The operation is the first known to see funds flow from the Arab country to American professional sports. QIA is a separate entity from Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), which owns the French soccer team Paris Saint-Germain, although QSI Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi is a director of QIA. The sovereign wealth fund is also not directly linked to Qatar’s Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani’s attempted purchase of Manchester United. Qatar organized the 2022 World Cup and is using its commitment to sport as a calling card to the world.
NBA spokesman Mike Bass, in statements collected by the AP agency, pointed out that the league’s Board of Governors decided in November to “restrict passive, minority and uncontrolled investment in NBA teams by institutional investors, including foreign and national foundation universities.” , to allow pension funds and sovereign wealth funds, subject to a number of policies then adopted”. All investments subject to league review and NBA Board approval.
“The NBA Board of Directors is currently reviewing a potential QIA investment in Monumental Sports & Entertainment, parent company of the Washington Wizards, and other sports properties,” Bass noted. “Under the policy, if approved, QIA would have a passive minority interest in the equipment without involvement in its operation or decision-making.”
Monumental Sports & Entertainment was founded and is directed by Ted Leonsis, an American businessman, investor, filmmaker, author, philanthropist and former politician who was formerly an executive at America Online. Notable shareholders include Canadian billionaire Jeffrey Skoll, eBay’s first president; billionaire businesswoman and philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Steve Jobs; BET co-founder Sheila Johnson, the first African American woman whose fortune exceeded $1 billion; and Mark Lerner, owner of the Nationals, the baseball team from the American capital.
The Wizards are in a tricky sporting situation. They stayed out of the playoffs last season and finished twelfth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 35 wins and 47 losses. They see an onslaught of their best players, including center Kristaps Porziņģis, who travels to the Celtics; Bradley Beal moving to the Phoenix Suns and likely Kyle Kuzma looking for a new team.
The Mystics are the third of six Eastern Conference teams. The Washington Capitals, for their part, ended a poor season, finishing twelfth in the Eastern Conference and sixth in the Metropolitan Division.
The capital’s most valuable team, the Washington Commanders, is in the process of changing hands when the deal is finalized in April by a consortium led by Josh Harris, co-owner of Washington NBA basketball team the Philadelphia 76ers and New York hockey team the Jersey Devils. Along with him, billionaire Mitchel Ralles and former Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson took part in the operation. The amount of the operation has not been officially announced, but it is estimated to be around $6 billion.

About fifty Moroccan migrants have been missing off the coast of southern Morocco for more than ten days after attempting to board a secret boat to Spain, a source close to one of the disappeared told us on Thursday.

• Also read: A fisherman borrows the bodies of 15 migrants, including a baby
• Also read: Three bodies were recovered after a refugee ship sank in Greece
These 51 migrants “were supposed to take a secret migrant boat off Agadir at dawn on Sunday June 11, en route to the Canary Islands, according to the information we have,” Amine Aharrouy, a family member of one of them, told AFP the migrants.
“To date, we have no further information as to what may have happened to them,” he explained.
“We hope that the Moroccan authorities will be able to clarify their fate,” added Mr Aharrouy, who wished to speak on behalf of the families of the disappeared.
When questioned, the same authorities did not respond to AFP’s inquiries.
No further details could be obtained about the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of these migrants. The Moroccan electronic newspaper Hespress reported further testimonies from relatives of the disappeared.
In addition, activist Helena Maleno of the Spanish NGO Caminando Fronteras tweeted on June 11 that “58 people, including 21 women and a baby, were on the verge of death due to the shipwreck of the inflatable boat they were traveling on” for Las Palmas, the capital of one of the Canary Islands.
According to Ms. Maleno, the sinking occurred in the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Laâyoune, a town in Western Sahara.
The missing are from El Attaouia province, near Marrakech, said his confidant, Mr Aharrouy.
This tragedy, in the absence of official information, does not appear to be linked to the sinking of a refugee boat on Wednesday about 160 km off the coast of the island of Gran Canaria, which Spanish rescuers said killed at least two people at sea.
According to Caminando Fronteras, whose assessments are based in particular on the statements of migrants or their families, a total of 39 people died in this shipwreck, including four women and a baby.
Departures of migrant boats to the Canary Islands, often from the shores of the disputed territory of Western Sahara, have multiplied in recent days due to good weather conditions.
A year after the triumph there was the musical show Notre Dame de Paris goes to Broadway again on Thursday with 27 performances. And producer Paul Dupont-Hébert doesn’t hide his desire to make these passages in New York’s “tradition of the year.”
There was something risky about the bet, he admits: presenting Notre Dame de Paris in its original French version in the heart of New York wasn’t necessarily a guaranteed success. But after a quarter-century of success around the world, the show has earned its spot on a Broadway marquee alongside Cats, Wicked, Hamilton, or even Chicago.
“Settling in the world capital of musical comedy was like a bang on the table to say that we exist, that Luc Plamondon and Richard Cocciante exist, that outside of Broadway or the West End, in London, the extraordinary is happening. “I think that Notre Dame de Paris has its place alongside these other classics and should even become an annual tradition in New York,” confirms Paul Dupont-Hébert.

In French with surtitles
His cry from the bottom of his heart was heard. After its 12 performances in the summer of 2022, Notre Dame de Paris is back on stage at the prestigious David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in New York, where The Cathedral Era, Belle and Others You Will Destroy Me will ring 27 times. The show will again be presented in French, but with English surtitles.
These will help English speakers follow the outline of the plot, which is inspired by the work of Victor Hugo and takes viewers to the year 1482, when three men vie for the attention and affection of the gypsy Emerald.
And who will defend their legendary roles on American soil? Daniel Lavoie is the only local artist to be part of the main troupe, once again wearing Frollo’s tunic. However, Quebecers Jamie Bono, Robert Marien, Mike Lee and Philippe Tremblay are used as replacements for the characters Esmeralda and Fleur de Lys, Frollo, Clopin and Quasimodo.
To New York… Los Angeles?
The Big Apple isn’t the only American market targeted by the Notre Dame de Paris production team. Indeed, Paul Dupont-Hébert brings to mind the great cities of Los Angeles, Miami, Boston and Chicago when it comes to discussing the next areas he has his sights set on.
“This show is a worldwide hit. It’s all there: the story, the songs, the music, the choreography, the acrobatics, the costumes… And the vocal performances are of a higher level. I don’t understand why it couldn’t work in these cities or even South America. “I dream that Notre Dame de Paris will be presented in Rio, Sao Paulo or Buenos Aires in the future,” he pleads.
With Paul Dupont-Hébert currently working on a re-imagining of the musical Don Juan, which is expected to be released in 2024, the question arises: will lovers of Seville follow in the footsteps of Quasimodo and Esmeralda on American stages in the more or less near future? ?
“It’s too early to think about it,” he says, adding that the distribution hasn’t been put together yet.
“But it should be,” he finally says.
Notre Dame de Paris is on view at Lincoln Center through July 16. The troupe will then land at Montreal’s Place des Arts from August 2-10.
NOTRE DAME DE PARISIN NUMBERS
It has been since its inception in 1998 5000 Representations of Notre Dame de Paris given around the world.
The adventures of Quasimodo, Esmeralda and Co. were presented in 20 Countries including Turkey, England, Spain, Japan and South Korea.
The works of Luc Plamondon and Richard Cocciante have been translated from French into English via Italian, Dutch, Polish and Korean 9 LANGUAGES.
In total, 11 million of viewers applauded the different versions of the show from all parts of the world.
The Notre-Dame-de-Paris show consists of 53 Songs including the hits Belle, Le temps des Cathédrales, Tu vas m’destructire and Danse mon Esmeralda.
New York’s Lincoln Center is hosting the show troupe this week 27 representations.
Notre Dame de Paris meets every night thirty Artists performing on stage.

Victor Wembanyama was officially drafted by the San Antonio Spurs as the safest first pick since LeBron James 20 years ago.
Expected to take the NBA by storm, the 19-year-old, 7ft 4 tall Frenchman has been described as an “alien” by LeBron himself for his good control, agility and accuracy when shooting from three-point range he doesn’t normally do associated with someone so tall.
And now the alien has landed in San Antonio, who won gold with his first-place finish in the NBA Draft Lottery earlier this year.
The teenager broke down in tears as he sat with his family on Thursday night as the election was announced at the Barclays Center.
After Wembanyama was selected first overall, he shared the reason for his emotions with ESPN’s Monica McNutt.
Not surprisingly, Victor Wembanyama was first drafted by the San Antonio Spurs in New York
Wembanyama was the first name to come out of NBA Commissioner Adam Silver’s mouth
After Spurs picked him, Wembanyama hugged his family and shed tears of joy
“It’s just about achieving something I’ve dreamed of all my life,” Wembanyama said. “When I heard that line from Adam Silver, I dreamed about it so much I cried man.”
Back in San Antonio, they celebrated the franchise selection boisterously at the AT&T Center. Some supporters had made signs with Wembanayama’s face. One even exhibited the phenomenon of shooting lasers out of his eyes in a nod to his LeBron bestowed “alien” status.
Some fans even rushed in line to enter the fan shop to buy their custom made Wembanyama jerseys.
Wembanyama arrived in New York on Monday before the draft in Brooklyn and has been on a tumultuous tour of the Big Apple ever since.
He attended Tuesday night’s New York Yankees game against the Seattle Mariners and pitched the first pitch at Yankee Stadium.
Funnily enough, Wembanyama wasn’t as accurate with a baseball in hand – his throw went wide and nearly missed the catcher.
But in Texas he won’t have as many problems with Spurs, who will now officially sharpen focus on building the team around the Frenchman. Wembanyama is coached by Gregg Popovich.
The team was the last competitor in the Western Conference last season and ended the season with a miserable 22-60 record.
Back in San Antonio, fans went wild as they celebrated the election at the AT&T Center
A fan held up a sign that showed Wembanyama firing lasers from his eyes, referring to the “alien.”
Some fans have even lined up to buy jerseys with his name on them
In a speech earlier this week, Wembanyama revealed he needs to eat five times a day – as much as possible – to fuel his massive physique and wants to bring French food to his new home.
“I have to eat wherever I can,” the Frenchman, who speaks perfect English, told Good Morning America. “Before workout, after workout, before bed, after wake up, before nap, after nap.”
But he has insisted he will not be overwhelmed when it comes time to make his NBA debut later this year.
“The most important thing is not to humbly step onto the pitch,” he said. “You have to be humble enough – to be able to respect the game – but if you come on the pitch too humbled and scared, there’s nothing you can do.”
Earlier this year, Lakers star James said of the Frenchman: “We call him the unicorn thing – everyone’s been a unicorn in recent years.”

“But he’s more like an extraterrestrial — no one has ever seen anyone as tall as him but also as fluid and graceful as he lies on the ground.”
So far, Wembanyama has played for the Metropolitans 92 in France. His last game came last week and ended in defeat against Monaco.
The fans chanted “Merci, Wemby” while the hugely popular Wembanyama party waved and clapped.
“I feel sorry for the fans who love to watch a show,” Wembanyama said after the game. “Of course I’m proud of what I did together with my coach (Vincent Collet) and brought the team to the final.” But I’m not satisfied.’
Suleman Dawood declined to explore the Titanic shipwrecks in the minivan-sized deep-sea submersible on Sunday.
According to his paternal aunt, he was even “terribly scared.”
But the 19-year-old, who had just completed his first year at Strathclyde Business School in Glasgow, Scotland, knew the dangerous expedition was important for Pakistani tycoon father, 49-year-old Shahzada Dawood. Though he “wasn’t very ready to do it” and had voiced his concerns to another family member, Suleman accompanied his lifelong Titanic-obsessed father and four other strangers on the $250,000-a-head trip to the wreck 400 miles away, according to This Weekend Newfoundland.
“If you gave me a million dollars, I wouldn’t have gotten on Titan,” Azmeh Dawood, Shahzada’s sister, told NBC on Thursday.
Dawood’s harrowing confession comes after the US Coast Guard confirmed on Thursday that all five people aboard the Titan are presumed dead after the missing ship suffered a “catastrophic implosion”. Officials say the sub’s stern cone was found about 1,600 feet from the bow of RMS Titanic and that the “catastrophic loss of hyperbaric chamber” would have killed everyone on board instantly.
The tragic news comes after a days-long search for the ship, which lost contact with its support vessel less than two hours after the start of the expedition organized by OceanGate Expeditions. On board the boat were Suleman and his father; Stockton Rush, CEO of OceanGate; British businessman Hamish Harding; and French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet.
“I’m so sorry that the whole world has had to go through so much trauma and tension,” added Dawood. “I feel like I got into a really bad movie, with a countdown, but you didn’t know what point you were counting to.”
For friends and family of Nargeolet, affectionately known as “Mr. Given his reputation as a seasoned explorer of the famous shipwreck, his decision to take a tour of the site was not uncommon. The 77-year-old has been on more than 35 dives and worked for RMS Titanic, which owns the salvage rights to the boat.
When Nargeolet’s daughter, Sidone Nargeolet, learned that her father was among the five people on the missing submersible, she said she was immediately overcome with “a lot of stress and very mixed feelings”. Speaking to Portal ahead of Thursday’s somber Titan confirmation, Sidone said her father knows “how to respond to problems in a submarine” and that she is confident he is handling the situation well.
“Shahzada Dawood, his son Suleman Dawood and Stockton Rush.”
”His favorite thing was to be in a submarine, [near] the Titanic,” she said. “He’s where he really wanted to be. I would prefer him [dying] in a place where he is happy.”
Matt Tulloch, who met Nargeolet while working on the RMS Titanic in the 1990s, told the Connecticut New Times Thursday that his friend was “a consummate professional and in many ways a legend of exploration.”
“Our thoughts are with the families and friends of those on board the submersible as we collectively and individually mourn the loss of our longtime collaborator and colleague Paul Henri ‘PH’ Nargeolet,” organization RMS Titan said in a statement Thursday. “The maritime world has lost an iconic and inspirational leader in deep sea exploration, and we have lost a dear and cherished friend.”
The Explorers Club, to which Harding and Nargelot belonged, also issued a statement Thursday, saying they were “heartbroken” at the “tragic news” of the failed expedition. Before news of the imploded Titan broke, Harding’s stepson also took to social media to open up about his feelings about the submarine.
“But this whole situation is a bloody nightmare, everything about it, especially what Hamish is going through down there, it’s just bloody awful,” he said. “I haven’t slept in days, it’s not my fault, I’m obviously just too worried about my mother and the situation.”
Denise Reiss, who had previously participated in several expeditions with Rush, also paid tribute to the CEO of OceanGate. In several posts on Facebook, Reiss – wife of former The Simpsons showrunner Michael Reiss – called Rush “cautious and brilliant, pushing the boundaries of what is possible.”
“We deeply regret his death en route to the Titanic,” she added.
“Hamish Harding and Paul-Henri Nargeolet.”

For Mohad Malik, Thursday’s tragic news was a grim confirmation of what he already believed about the fate of his friend Shahzada Dawood.
“I kind of accepted it. I wasn’t optimistic,” Malik, a 30-year-old from London, told The Daily Beast. “I thought it would end up being more of a salvage mission than a rescue mission.”
He also noted that others close to the Dawoods felt a sense of false hope after search parties heard “popping noises” underwater Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. However, officials said Thursday that the noises were not coming from near where the Titan was eventually found and that there was no connection to the submarine.
“My parents spoke to the family and they were very optimistic for a while but now they’re devastated,” Malik added. “They were obviously shocked when it first happened. And then they heard the news of the noises.”
Malik also paid tribute to his family friend, with whom he was fortunate to develop a relationship of his own. He pointed out that Shahzada was “one of those guys who really thinks outside the box… like a Pakistani Elon Musk,” adding that the businessman is proud to be very close to his teenage son.
“He was very close to his son. He took him to university last year and the whole family was very close,” added Malik.
