“The smoke was quite impressive,” assures Isabelle, who lives a stone’s throw from the city center of Senlis. THE relief took quite a while before putting an end to this fire who animated a good part of the afternoon.”
This Friday, January 3, the content of a garbage truck caught fire for an undetermined reason, at the very beginning of the afternoon, while he was on rue Odent. The market professionals had not yet all left their locations when smoke began to come out of the building.
Risk of spread to homes
To avoid any risk of the fire spreading to houses in the city center, it was decided to move the truck to rue de la République. As a result, the road remained blocked from the Cerf roundabout to Rue Odent during the operation.
THE firefighters mobilized to contain the fire inside the dumpster. With success. All that remained then was to clean the Rue de la République, one of the main arteries of the royal city, where a lot of moss covered the road.
