Around 2 p.m. Wednesday, several explosions sounded within the Eurenco factory in Bergerac.
Quickly, the emergency services are notified and take care of the eight injured, including one seriously.
The nearest homes were evacuated due to the potentially toxic fumes escaping from this Seveso “high threshold” classified industrial site.

Shortly before 7 p.m., the area was reopened to traffic and the police roadblocks lifted.
