PARIS - A major blaze swept through part of one of the world's biggest fresh produce markets on the outskirts of Paris on Sunday.
The fire destroyed a fruit and vegetable warehouse at the Rungis complex to the south of the French capital. Flames spread shortly after noon, the authorities said, sending a dark plume of smoke billowing over the southern suburbs. A hundred firefighters brought the fire under control by mid-afternoon and there were no injuries, the fire brigade said."It's a shock, but we're glad there were no injuries", boss Shaoul Abramczyk said."When a market operator is the victim of a tragedy of this nature, the whole market is struck at its heart", Rungis market head Stephane Layani said.
