Fire in Lutry Thursday Night

Does anyone know anything about a big fire in Lutry on Thursday night? My husband and I were walking the dog about 20:00h when a huge fire started in one of the car parks. We had walked past that same spot only 2-3 minutes before. My husband actually said something like, "Smells like a really bad barbecue around here," but we thought nothing more of it and kept walking. Then we heard a bunch of booms, like fireworks, turned around, and from where we were, it looked like a car had exploded. Flames shot above the trees, and a plume of black smoke soared into the air. It was very disconcerting to think we walked right by it only moments before. 


This morning, I tried to look online for any information about the fire. But I guess I don't know any of the local news sources. (Shame on me for being here 4 months and not having figured that out yet--I've just relied on the weekly good-news paper and not really investigated anything else.) 


So if you happen to know what occured last night, or if you can direct me to a good online local news source, I would appreciate it.

You can try 20 minutes which is only in French to the best of my knowledge. Hope this helps.

It's the lead story, so thanks for the link. Don't know why I didn't think of 20 Minutes. Turns out it was a lumber yard right behind the car park.
