We feel it everywhere this Sunday, January 19 morning. In Oullins, Lyon, Sainte-Foy, Saint-Genis-Laval, Irigny and even Caluire-et-Cuire and Rillieux-la-Pape.
On social networks, many people have questioned this pungent odor, which “hits the throat”.

This smell of burning tires, which stings the eyes and throat, is not due to pollution.
It came from a large fire, which started during the night at the Suez RV DEEE factory in Feyzin and Saint-Fons, specializing in the recycling of industrial waste. And against which 50 firefighters and around twenty vehicles as well as private firefighting teams from this installation classified for environmental protection (ICPE) are still fighting.
Many town halls, such as Oullins, Saint-Fons or Ecully, communicated on social networks to inform residents.

No danger to health according to the prefecture
The Rhône prefecture, however, wants to be reassuring regarding these odors perceptible throughout the Rhône. Several air quality measurements have been carried out in recent hours and no health hazards have been identified.
Furthermore, the fire has so far only caused material damage. The prefecture adds that the A7 motorway was not impacted by the smoke.
The firefighters hope to be able to overcome it in the afternoon.
