A fire destroyed the inventory zone of a supermarket. All products held in storage burned. The fire would have been sparked by one or more fireworks rockets launched by youth from the store’s parking lot that fell onto the supermarket store room and on top of palletised bags of potting compost. The fire did not spread into the supermarket, though the ensuing smoke did force removal and disposal of all merchandise from the sales floor. Damages were estimated at several millions of francs. The business remained closed throughout the renovation period, which was anticipated to last several weeks.
