Goods worth nearly 300 million Burundian francs went up in smoke, according to eyewitnesses met on the site. They indicate that the fire would have been caused by an electric welding activity.
They thank the civil protection police for the rapid intervention they displayed to control the fire, specifying that a depot containing BRARUDI drinks was thus spared.
People who requested anonymity believe that the victim would have insured his property with an insurance company, otherwise, they added, “it would be deplorable”.
