from Learn French with daily podcasts

Voici ce qu'il faut retenir de l'incendie qui a frappé l'hôtel de luxe des Grandes Alpes à Courchevel.Here is what to remember about the fire that struck the luxury hotel Les Grandes Alpes in Courchevel.Alors, pour vous donner le contexte, un énorme incendie s'est déclaré mardi soir dans cet hôtel cinq étoiles en plein cœur de la célèbre station de ski.So, to give you some context, a massive fire broke out Tuesday evening in this five-star hotel in the heart of the famous ski resort.Ça a bien sûr déclenché une évacuation massive et une intervention super complexe pour les pompiers.This of course triggered a massive evacuation and a very complex intervention for the firefighters.Premièrement, parlons de la situation humaine et là franchement, c'est la bonne nouvelle de l'histoire.First, let's talk about the human situation and frankly, that is the good news of the story.Le feu a pris au niveau de la toiture.The fire started at the roof level.Très, très vite, les 83 personnes, que ce soit les clients ou le personnel, ont été évacuées.Very, very quickly, the 83 people, whether they were guests or staff, were evacuated.Le plus important, c'est que pour l'instant, il n'y a aucune victime. Ouf !The most important thing is that for now, there are no victims. Phew!Et tout le monde a pu être relogé. And everyone was able to be rehoused.Deuxièmement, l'intervention des secours. Secondly, the emergency services' intervention.Et là, c'est vraiment un casse-tête.And there, it is truly a headache.Imaginez : une soixantaine de pompiers sont mobilisés et ils font face à deux gros problèmes.Imagine: about sixty firefighters are mobilized and they are facing two major problems.D'un côté, la forme du toit est super complexe.On one hand, the shape of the roof is super complex.De l'autre, il y a une épaisse couche de neige dessus ce qui les empêche de faire des ouvertures pour évacuer la fumée.On the other, there is a thick layer of snow on top which prevents them from making openings to vent the smoke.Et finalement, le risque que ça se propage.And finally, the risk that it spreads.Parce que oui, pour l'instant, le feu est confiné au toit mais il y a un risque.Because yes, for now, the fire is confined to the roof, but there is a risk.Le lieutenant-colonel des pompiers de Savoie l'a confirmé : le risque que l'incendie s'étende aux bâtiments juste à côté et bien, il est bien réel.The lieutenant-colonel of the Savoie firefighters confirmed it: the risk of the fire spreading to the buildings right next door is, well, very real.Donc vous l'aurez compris, la situation reste très, très tendue.So as you will have understood, the situation remains very, very tense.En bref, c'est une véritable course contre la montre qui est engagée pour maîtriser cet incendie dangereux dans un lieu emblématique où la priorité absolue a été de mettre tout le monde en sécurité.In short, it is a true race against time that has been undertaken to control this dangerous fire in an iconic location where the absolute priority was to get everyone to safety.
