The deployment of nearly a hundred firefighters and gendarmes was necessary to come to terms with the disaster.
A fire broke out on Wednesday evening on a Veolia Environmental Services site in Toulouse, in a building containing waste and recycled wood, before being brought under control, said the prefecture.
“The origin of the incident would be accidental.
The fire is now under control and the risk of spreading to the neighboring building has been eliminated.
No injuries are to be deplored, ”state services said in a statement.
An investigation will be opened
This is a "tri-transit-grouping facility for non-hazardous waste from companies", according to the prefecture.
Toxicity readings were carried out.
An investigation will be opened to precisely identify the circumstances of the fire.
