The sirens will sound Thursday in Toulouse, we tell you why

Do not panic.

This December 9, the sirens will sound on the side of the island of Empalot, in Toulouse.

And yet we will be a Thursday, and not the first Wednesday of the month.

A full-scale exercise will take place from 9 a.m. to test the special intervention plan of the Ariane Group company, a Seveso-classified high-threshold establishment, which notably produces fuel for the Ariane rocket.

An exercise will take place on Thursday 9 December from 9:00 am on the ARIANE GROUP site located in #Toulouse in #HauteGaronne.

The siren will sound around 9:30 a.m. as part of the exercise.

Half an hour after the start of this test, the sirens will sound, simulating what could happen if an explosion occurs at this site.

Firefighters and other helpers will thus converge on this part of the island, as would be the case during an industrial accident.
