A fire broke out on Tuesday in Bobigny in Seine-Saint-Denis rue Henri Gautier in a warehouse in an industrial area. 150 BSPP firefighters were called. The fire was brought under control by late afternoon.
The fire broke out at the beginning of the afternoon at 2 rue Henri Gautier in a 5,000 m² warehouse island located in the Vignes industrial zone in Bobigny. DMany companies, textile warehouses and shops such as the Métro store are present there. The fire ravaged a beverage storage shed.
150 firefighters from the BSPP, the Paris fire brigade, robots and aerial lifting arms were dispatched to the scene to contain the disaster and prevent the spread to other warehouses, particularly textiles.
According to Lieutenant-Colonel Claire Boët, spokesperson for the Paris fire brigade, the difficulty was to prevent “the flames spread to the fabric storage warehouses with calorific potential.“
The fire released a large plume of smoke visible for several kilometers around. Residents were asked to stay at home so as not to inhale the fumes. Fumes considered non-toxic by the BSPP.
“Tonight, firefighters will stay on site to avoid fire resumption using thermal cameras“, says Lieutenant-Colonel Claire Boët.
The fire has not caused any injuries so far.
