“The explosion blew all the doors within a radius of ten meters,” recalls Jessica Lapert. Sunday June 11 at the beginning of the evening in Villejust (Essonne), a detonation preceded a fire starting at the waste treatment center of SIOM (mixed household waste union). The accident comes from inside an oven. In the bowels of the dump, Jessica Lapert and her teams are getting into battle order to contain the disaster.
