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.
The sprawling wholesale market is a veritable town unto itself, with more than 12,000 people working there and warehouses filled with fruit and vegetables, seafood, meats, dairy products and flowers from across France and around the world.
…every building in every state and every country my food company has a physical presence in has a sprinkler system complete with tamper alarms. Never lost more than a garbage can to a fire in the almost three decades I’ve been with them.
Just saying.
Anybody think we’re in a war?
Anybody?
You bet yer ass we are!
And it’s the worst kind… from within.
Start storing food: next year may be our nation’s last.
At this point you would think food producers and all things livestock would take security more seriously?
The Cabal which is worldwide wants us dead and they don’t mind starving us to death.

Water sprinklers aren’t worth much if you cut the water supply. There’s a map floating around of all the food processing plants that have been torched. If factual, someone definitely wants us killing each other over our next meal. What’s the saying, we’re 9 meals away from anarchy? I think it’s closer to five.

…true, but they’d have to cut the hydrants, too. First-in fire company is going to take a hydrant and charge the sprinkler system before doing anything else.

Certainly not disagreeing with you. I’ve owned commercial buildings in California. However, like I say, If that map that’s floating around is correct, somethings up. In fact, I don’t think you even need to refer to the map. Just the last 8 months headlines.
By the way I’ve seem to have lost your e mail address, but I’m dying to know how the little woman’s doing.

Moment, they are just braindead. Maybe they just don’t keep score and connect dots,but I’m a good conspiracy theorist, and I am aware of things that start happening and connect. It passed
