In July 2026, several Intermarché supermarkets in France were evacuated after safety breaches and a fire, prompting authorities to review fire safety measures at the chain's stores. In early August, additional fire incidents were reported: a Transdev bus caught fire near Venette, leading the local agglomeration president to demand a comprehensive inspection of the fleet, and a car ignited at an Intermarché service station in Ambérieu‑en‑Bugey, causing significant damage and temporarily closing the station. These events illustrate a pattern of fire‑related safety concerns affecting Intermarché locations and nearby transport services in France.
