At least seven people have died after a blaze swept through an apartment block in central Paris in the middle of the night, according to French news agency Agence France Presse (AFP).
The fire started at around 1 a.m. local time Tuesday (7 p.m. Monday ET) on the Rue Erlanger in the city’s 16th arrondisement, and sent some residents fleeing onto adjoining rooftops.
„We had to carry out many (residents), including some people who had taken refuge on the roofs,“ Cognon said.
