During the raid, the fire brigade held lengthy discussions with shopkeepers on the dangers to which they are exposed and the safety measures to be taken to prevent accidents involving the storage of these dangerous products. A number of tips were given to those involved, including:

– Design and manufacture of storage devices with gauges and watertight seals.

– Storage location: Containers must be installed in specific locations, with minimum distances to be respected between the fuel and neighbouring buildings.

– Fire safety: Storage areas must be equipped with appropriate extinguishing equipment and in sufficient quantity.

– Ventilation and lighting: Storage areas must be well ventilated and lit, with safe electrical installations.

These measures are designed to protect people, property and the environment against the risks associated with storing flammable liquids.
