Singer Patrick Hernandez got hot: his Linky meter actually caught fire at home, so whose turn is it?

The iconic interpreter of Born to Be AlivePatrick Hernandez, had one of the scares of his life this weekend, when the Linky meter in his home caught fire, requiring the intervention of the firefighters.

There was a great atmosphere at Patrick Hernandez’s house on Saturday evening, but for once, it wasn’t because he was performing his famous hit on tour with the “Stars 80” troupe or on a TV set. No, this time, it was the 74-year-old artist’s Linky meter, which directly set his house on fire, pushing the firefighters, police and Enedis to intervene urgently.

A “devil’s scare” caused by the fire of the Linky meter

“ More fear than harm », wrote Patrick Hernandez on his Facebook page early Sunday morning. The singer-songwriter, who lives in the south of France, in Vaucluse, got quite a scare when he saw his Linky meter “ blaze », with the start of a fire.

On the social network, he writes that he saw a “ incredible smoke in a small room » who gave him « a scare of the devil “. The incident was of such magnitude that the king of disco saw the police, firefighters and even the supplier Enedis arrive at his home.

The artist explained on Sunday that he was deprived of electricity, while waiting for the Enedis repairers to arrive, “ because this morning, without them, nothing works anymore, except… the fireplace », he wrote.

A waiting solution quickly found by Enedis

Sunday afternoon, Patrick Hernandez, protected by the gods of the Top 50, thanks to his worldwide hit, congratulated the firefighters, police officers and Enedis in another message for “ their speed of action and their kindness “.

Because yes, at that moment, the star could benefit from electricity again, thanks to a waiting solution, which will help him at least until the damage is completely repaired. What can be done? a first kawa » (coffee) at 2:30 p.m. this weekend!

The little green Linky meter, which is in the news because it causes electrosensitive subjects or for those who tamper with it to save a few euros, is definitely not stopping to make headlines. Who will be next to experience a mishap? Perhaps for Patrick Hernandez enough to write a new version of his song, Burn to Be Alive.
