Fire alert at 6:45 a.m. on Thursday, October 24, 2024, at the Brissac quarry in the Gangeois region, north of Montpellier: metal conveyor belts used to transport ore were completely engulfed in flames at the CMSE (Carrières & Matériaux Sud-Est) extraction site operated by Colas, at Le Devois de la Vernède, on the Notre-Dame-de-Londres road.

Toulouse (Haute-Garonne): fire to the trucks collaborating with the A69 (France)

Charred trucks, explosions, anti-A69 tags: what we know about the violent fire in Toulouse
ActuToulouse/Ouest France/La Dépêche, October 21, 2024
Several explosions ripped through the night, rousing many Toulousains from their beds. On Monday, October 21, 2024, at around 4 a.m., a violent fire broke out on the premises of Spie Batignolles, located in the Gramont district of Toulouse. When firefighters arrived on the scene, seven trucks were engulfed in flames. An eighth was only just saved. The explosions heard by local residents were none other than the tires of the trucks, which were subjected to temperatures too extreme for them to withstand.
Specialized in construction work, Spie Batignolles is involved in two major projects in the Toulouse region: line C of the Toulouse metro, and the A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. This project has been the subject of fierce protests from environmental militants for many months.
The police are investigating the incident as a crime, and the Toulouse public prosecutor’s office has opened an inquiry for “deliberate damage to private property by dangerous means”. Damage is estimated at 2 million euros.

Berlin (Germany): Army car damaged

Kontrapolis / Wednesday, December 4, 2024

Last night, a car with a military license plate a German army logo was parked on the Maybach quay at the Hobrecht Bridge.

Something unusual to see.

In the morning, it had to be towed away, with new paint, broken windows and flat tires. Was it a private trip? Every ten years, federal officials forget: you must not park in Neukölln [ a working-class district in the south-central part of Berlin – the link refers to a similar case, a dozen years ago; Ed. ]…

Flamanville (Manche): A few bolts less for an EHV pylon

A few bolts less for an EHV pylon near Flamanville
(Indymedia Nantes, September 30, 2024)

The EPR nuclear reactor in Flamanville, on which work which begun in 2006, is nearing completion and could be connected to the power grid this autumn. This step, known as “coupling”, is decisive for making what would then be France’s most powerful nuclear reactor operational. The Flamanville EPR and the announced future EPR2 reactors (Penly 3 and 4, Gravelines 7 and 8, Le Bugey 6 and 7) add to the 56 reactors currently operating in France, not counting the nuclear reactors used to propel military submarines and an aircraft carrier, and the few research reactors in service.

Pylon! Pylon! Fire, Fire!

Attempting to recount pylon woes from late 2022 to the present day, based on communiques and publications from recent years

Against the nuclear industry, the electrical grid and the power supply of capitalism’s most harmful… Pylons are targets. The aim here is to highlight the vulnerability of the power grid order and, in a way, to demonstrate the ability to attack capitalism using this angle.

Pylons can topple to block electricity production (as at Brennilis on January 15, 1979), but they can also target the supply of a harmful industry (as in the famous film Woman at War, which targets the aluminum industry)…

At the end of 2022, two reports from south-eastern France demonstrated the relevance, and indeed the effectiveness, of these actions

In Salindres, in the Gard region of France, the electricity supply to the chemical-industrial hub was targeted. The resistance fighters who claimed the toppling of the 225,000 volt pylon even indicated the method used, allowing anyone to cut off the electricity where it doesn’t belong!

Carrara , Italy: Incendiary  attack against three heavy vehicles at a marble quarry in the Campocecina area (Carrara, 3 November 2024)

Incendiary  attack against three heavy vehicles at a marble quarry in the Campocecina area  in Carara

Tongues of fire

In the night between Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 November a fire lit up a moonless night on the Apuan mountains, destroying three heavy vehicles in a marble quarry in the Campo di Cecina area near Carrara.

In these places where it is easy to pass unobserved machinery and structures indispensible to the industrial system are often left lying around.

May this kind of blaze spread against devastating machines and their miserable owners.
