A billowing column of dark smoke towered over Paris on Sunday from a warehouse blaze at a massive produce market that supplies the French capital and surrounding region with much of its fresh food and bills itself as the largest of its kind in the world.
Firefighters urged people to stay away from the area in Paris' southern suburbs, as 100 officers and 30 fire engines battled the blaze at the Rungis International Market.
Capt. Marc Le Moine, a spokesman for the Paris fire service, said no one was injured. The fire was brought under control and there was no risk of it spreading from the soccer field-sized warehouse, covering an area of 7,000 square meters (1.7 acres), he said.
The cause of the blaze was unknown but will be investigated, he added.

"I wonder what was so flammable at a produce market?" Probably an electric bus.

What a shame. No more arugula, Swiss chard, or truffles.

Given the fires, explosions, and broken pipes at food plants in the US, yours is not an easily dismissed notion.

Not this time. Back in 1994 Al Gore made this prediction: “Unless we stop Global Warming, by September of 2022 tomatoes will start spontaneously combusting.”
Al Gore was right, yet again.

i have never been to that one in Paris but the ones I have been too often had food stalls that cooked items.
To: RummyChick
this might be more of a wholesale place
“Footage shared on social media of the blaze on Sunday at the Rungis market showed a tower of dark smoke billowing high into the air. According to reports only one of the many warehouses caught ablaze..”
To: dynachrome
Just another isolated incident.
