CIt's a wake-up call that he would definitely not like to experience. Around 2:30 a.m. this Thursday, November 7, Olivier Naye, manager of the Kalifrais company for 24 years, was taken from his bed by the police. For good reason, his company located in the Petite-Synthe area had already been engulfed in flames for several minutes.

When he arrived on site, Olivier Naye could only see the damage, while numerous firefighters were on site to put out the fire. A few hours later, there is nothing left of the 1,800 m² warehouse, while a few employees look in despair at the firefighters, who are still numerous on site. “ Every day, 1,000 liters of soup and 1,500 pots of potjevleesch were produced here. It's a tragedy, for all the employees, for me… », sighs Olivier Naye, with tears in his eyes. “ We were just recovering from the rising cost of energy… »

According to initial findings, the fire broke out in the cooking room before spreading throughout the building. Specializing in local dishes which it markets to restaurateurs and supermarkets, Kalifrais employs 13 employees. As the site does not employ anyone at night, no injuries have been reported. All are now pending the verdict of the experts who must visit the site. Around 10 a.m., firefighters were still present on site, while the police prohibited cars from accessing rue Achille-Pérès.
