As summer approaches, theParis region continues to experience intense heatwaves, with record-breaking temperatures. In early August, Paris and its inner suburbs were even placed on drought watch , and fires broke out, notably in the Sénart forest in Essonne. Around 6pm on Thursday August 4, 2022, columns of black smoke were observed in Seine-Saint-Denis. These could be signs of an outbreak of fire.
Twitter users are asking questions. The black smoke can be seen from towns in Seine-Saint-Denis such as Gagny, Villemomble and Rosny-sous-Bois, as well as in the inner suburbs near Paris such as Montreuil and Bagnolet. Internet users believe that the fire broke out near Neuilly-Plaisance, at plateau d'Avron or near the Chanoux industrial zone. For the moment, the authorities have not released any information on the incident: the exact official location and the reason for the alleged fire are still unknown. While we await further details, please exercise caution if you are in the vicinity.
