A major fire event mobilizes rescue teams in the city of Bobigny, in the Seine-Saint-Denis region, in France. The local city hall confirmed the incident this Wednesday, June 17, in the early afternoon, through its official platform on X (formerly Twitter), indicating the presence of Paris firefighters on site to control the flames.
The flames consumed a warehouse measuring approximately 7 thousand square meters, located in a strategic industrial area. The city hall, in a statement to the newspaper Le Parisien, detailed the scale of the accident, revealing a dense column of smoke that can be seen from several kilometers away, raising concerns about air quality and visibility.
