In Aubervilliers, the market hall closed “overnight’ for security reasons. At the request of the prefecture and to the surprise of customers and traders, the town hall issued an order closing the hall.
The city center market hall was closed by municipal decree after the passage of a security commission on February 23. This noted several “anomalies’, including the malfunction of the alarm system, fire valves and lighting. “These findings result in a significant risk of fire outbreaks as well as a deterioration in the conditions of evacuation and emergency intervention,” wrote thePrefecture of Seine-Saint-Denis.
