A fire broke out at a French produce market that supplies Paris and the surrounding region with much of its fresh food.

Capt. Marc Le Moine, a spokesman for the Paris fire service, told The Associated Press on Sept. 25 that no one was injured. The fire was brought under control and there was no risk of it spreading from the soccer field-sized warehouse, which covers an area of 7,000 square meters (1.7 acres).
