A hundred firefighters and thirty devices were mobilized to the area, reported a spokesman for the body, which specified in mid-afternoon that the fire had been controlled and that there was no risk of it spreading.
“There are no victims and there is no risk of spread,” said the spokesman for the fire department.
Local authorities indicated that the fire started for unknown reasons in a fruit and vegetable warehouse. A thick plume of smoke could be seen from miles around.
The president of the Rungis market, Stéphane Layani, expressed his “solidarity” with the affected company and indicated that the establishment would resume its activity on Monday.
Rungis, 7 km south of Paris, is considered the largest wholesale market for fresh produce in the world and has an area of 234 hectares.
