A garbage truck caught fire around midnight on Wednesday, September 23, as it was operating on Rue Lenepveu, a central street in the city of Angers in the Loire Valley region of France. The incident occurred during the early hours of Thursday, September 24, and prompted immediate action from the workers involved. The fire was likely caused by an electrical malfunction or overheating within the vehicle, though an official investigation has not yet determined the exact cause. In response, the waste collection workers quickly emptied the contents of the truck’s bin onto the street to minimize the risk of the fire spreading to nearby buildings or vehicles. This action helped to contain the blaze and prevent potential damage to the surrounding area. Local firefighters were called to the scene to assist in extinguishing the fire. They worked alongside the collection workers to ensure that the situation was under control as quickly as possible. No injuries were reported, and the fire was brought under control within a short time. The incident has raised awareness about the safety measures in place for waste collection vehicles, which are often exposed to various risks due to the nature of their work. Authorities have not yet commented on the incident, but it serves as a reminder of the importance of regular maintenance and safety checks for such vehicles.
