On March 31, 1979, the police were contacted to note the presence of a piece of ice that had fallen on the station parking lot. There were no victims or damage, despite ice fragments scattered over about thirty meters. In one piece of ice, the presence of beige and red substances appeared. Samples of this material were analyzed, concluding that there was fat of plant or animal origin coming from a block of ice that had probably broken off from an aircraft. The village is indeed located below a heavily used air corridor, and particular weather conditions can cause such incidents.
