A spectacular fire required the massive intervention of Paris firefighters for three hours, on the night of Wednesday to Thursday. Some 150 firefighters from the Bitche rescue center were called in the late evening for a fire in a covered car park in the 19th arrondissement, rue de Crimée.
According to the Paris fire brigade (BSPP), the fire broke out in a set of buildings comprising hundreds of homes and shops.
One minor casualty
On site, the speakers noted the presence of two fireplaces in the first basement with an area of 5000 m2. Nine cars were destroyed by fire. “Getting through an underground car park is always difficult. There is an oven effect. It goes up quickly in a parking lot, ”explained the Parisian spokesperson for the BSPP.
Three lances and a complex smoke extraction maneuver were required to extinguish the incident. Finally, the fire fortunately left only one casualty, taken care of by the emergency services.
