Powerful explosion and fire destroy two boats in Saint-Laurent-du-Var Port - A powerful explosion has rocked Saint-Laurent-du-Var as the blast was heard from Nice to Villeneuve-Loubet, on Wednesday evening. The explosion occurred at around 8.30pm on a 10-meter sailboat moored at Quai de la Pérouse and was followed by a fierce fire. The black smoke from the fire was visible from miles away. Emergency services were quick to respond with 42 firefighters and eight rescue vehicles deployed to contain the flames.
