Nearly 30 firefighters were mobilized to control the fire, alongside police forces and a team from GRDF, a company responsible for natural gas distribution in France.

Impact on the area

Smoke spread into the surrounding streets, accompanied by a strong odor, according to reports from Le Progrès, a regional newspaper in the Rhône-Alpes area.
