Highlights: A fire broke out in the night from Sunday to Monday on a large wild dump, located in the 2nd and 3rd arrondissements of Marseille. More than 300 cubic meters of waste of all kinds went up in smoke. The daily recalls that a fire had also occurred in the same neighborhood last December, burning a lot of abandoned tires. Similar fires had already occurred in August in November 2021, reports La Provence. It is hoped that the fire will raise awareness of the problem of illegal landfills.
