The firefighters intervened, this Wednesday, at the Diagonale school, a private establishment outside the contract of Boulogne-Billancourt where, at the very end of the morning, several students were seized with vertigo and violent headaches.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Equipped with a gas detector, the firefighters quickly scoured the establishment to determine the origin of this intoxication.
A first time in vain.

"It is from this garage that the gas came," confides a police source.
It emanated precisely from the catalytic converter of a car, which was stationary but whose engine was running.
