Spectacular fire in the Paris region: traffic back to normal


The fire in a textile warehouse and footwear La Courneuve disrupted holiday departures Parisians.


Since early yesterday afternoon, firefighters were able to extinguish the main focus, but residual foci difficult to reach with fire hoses persist and continue to produce a large cloud of black smoke with a pungent odor.


These inaccessible fires are under the rubble and collapsed under the slab warehouse 10,000 square meters.


As a precaution, yesterday, the traffic RER B serving Charles de Gaulle airport was interrupted between the Gare du Nord station in Paris and Le Bourget before reopening in the evening.


The A86 was also cut in both directions, causing the ras-le-bol of drivers:


"Because of the smoke, it is slowed down and it annoys us."


"I try, with GPS, get out of there and it's impossible, it's been over an hour I turn."


Huge traffic jams eventually dissipate north of the French capital. The A86 motorway was reopened to traffic in both directions at 11am on Saturday morning.
