The incident resulted in the destruction or damage of four vehicles. La Chapelle Saint-Aubin is a town known for its commercial activity, making the area a common location for vehicles to be parked or operated. The fire, which broke out in the early hours of Thursday, likely spread quickly due to the proximity of the vehicles and the nature of the surrounding environment.

No injuries were reported, but the incident has raised concerns about fire safety in commercial zones with high vehicle traffic.

They are urging local residents and business owners to review their fire safety protocols and ensure that vehicles are parked in compliance with local regulations to prevent similar incidents in the future.
