Spread to adjoining premises was limited. For example, those occupied by AZ Restauration saw some roof windows explode. In addition, electricity was cut off in the area before being restored this Tuesday morning, shortly before insurance experts went to the site.
Open investigation
The national gendarmerie was also present at the scene of the disaster this Monday evening. An investigation has been opened and initial findings should be made this Tuesday afternoon. According to our information, the fire could have started from a battery of a vehicle parked inside the warehouse concerned.
