A major fire is underway in the town of Aubervilliers (93). Thick smoke is visible from all over the capital, suggesting a large fire. Emergency services are currently on site.
According to many Internet users who share videos and photographs, the fire took place in a lingerie factory in the city of Seine-Saint-Denis. Contacted by 20 minutes, Father Franck Derville, priest of Paris and of the parish of Aubervilliers, present near the scene confirms that the fire is located near the Canal Saint-Denis: “It is happening near the Aimé Césaire metro. A dense industrial area. »
According to him, the firefighters would have difficulty approaching the fire because of the configuration of the premises which make it difficult to access.
“A very strong heat emerges in the neighborhood and we heard the sound of explosions,” adds Franck Derville.
This fire comes a month almost to the day after that of a car park which had led to the evacuation of three buildings and a leisure center in Aubervilliers.
