This Saturday, a fire broke out shortly before 4 p.m. in a vacant lot on the territory of the commune of Herblay-sur-Seine.
Around 6 p.m., more than 70 Val-d'Oise firefighters were still working to extinguish it.

Indeed, despite the efforts of firefighters to prevent the flames from spreading to homes, at least one of them would have been affected.
Several hectares of vegetation were in any case burned.
At the end of the afternoon, the prefecture of Val-d'Oise and the national police invited motorists to avoid the sector because of smoke emerging in the direction of the A 15 motorway on this weekend of crossover holidays.
