Just days after a major explosion at a chemical plant spewing 5200 tones of Chemicals into the air and ground, now another explosion has rocked France, this time at a battery warehouse, spewing toxic plastic, lead, lithium and God knows what other smokes into the air. WTF is wrong with France?
More than 90 firefighters and 35 fire trucks have been dispatched to the scene to contain the conflagration.
A massive fire has broken out at a warehouse in Villeurbanne, a municipality in Greater Lyon, France on Tuesday morning. There were no immediate reports of any causalities or the cause of the blaze.
According to preliminary reports the 3,000 square-metre warehouse stored batteries. However, local authorities haven’t ruled out that the fire could have occurred at a depot storing plastic material. Local media also reported that the fire could have started in a nearby building and then spread to the warehouse.
A thick pillar of smoke is seen emerging above the storage facility in images circulating in social media.
According to the latest update, the fire has been contained but a squad of firefighters remain present at the site.
