Cars Set Ablaze in Déols: Fear and Questions After Midnight Fires

Last night was anything but ordinary in the quiet neighborhood of Clou, in Déols. I want to take a moment to talk about something deeply unsettling that’s been unfolding—an incident that not only left visible damage, but also shook the sense of safety for many local residents.

In the early hours of Monday morning, between 3:25 and 3:40 a.m., two separate fires broke out, just fifteen minutes apart and only a few streets away from one another. These were not accidents. According to the first information released by the police in Ch'steauroux, both incidents appear to be of criminal origin. We’re talking about deliberate acts—arsons that destroyed a total of five cars and caused additional property damage.

The first fire started on Avenue Maurice Thorez. A single car was set ablaze. But it didn’t stop there. The flames quickly jumped to a nearby vehicle, engulfing both in fire. As the fire grew, it damaged a glass recycling container, an adjacent tree, and even a fence. Authorities are also concerned that the intense heat may have affected a heat pump unit attached to a nearby residence.

Barely a quarter of an hour later, at 3:40 a.m., another fire broke out on Rue du Docteur Lamaze. This time, again, one car was the target—but the blaze spread, destroying two more vehicles parked nearby. That’s three more lives disrupted. Three more families waking up to scorched metal and the lingering smell of smoke.

The emotional impact of these crimes goes beyond the burned-out shells of vehicles. It’s the fear that creeps in when you realize someone walked down those familiar streets with malicious intent. It’s the anxiety of residents wondering, “What if it had spread to homes? What if someone had been inside?” And most of all, it’s the demand for answers.

Right now, an investigation is underway. Local police are combing through evidence, looking for surveillance footage, possible witnesses, and trying to piece together the events of that destructive night. There’s no confirmation yet on who’s responsible, but the community is watching—and waiting.

Events like this remind us of how fragile our sense of normalcy can be. One minute, everything is calm. The next, a neighborhood is waking up to flashing lights, smoke in the air, and questions with no immediate answers.

Hopefully, those responsible will be found soon. But until then, the people of Clou are left with more than just property damage—they’re left with a community scarred by senseless acts, and a pressing need for justice.
