An intervention by firefighters has been underway, for a fire, since 2:40 p.m., in the town of HYERES LES PALMIERS, at the PRADEAU PLAGE restaurant, avenue des Arbanais.
Var firefighters intervened for two fires in a restaurant. The first fire is a flaming gas leak in the restaurant at the kitchen level and the second fire is also a flaming leak but at the gas tank which supplies the establishment. The two leaks could have been created by a local lightning strike. The fire in the kitchen was brought under control by firefighters. The leak on the exterior gas tank, 95% full, is still ongoing.
