Paris Hotel Fire Kills at Least 17 People

[Guest guest]

PARIS - People screamed to be

rescued from flames — some even jumped from windows — as a fire

roared through a Paris hotel early Friday used by City Hall to house needy African

families. At least 17 people were killed, including seven children, officials

said.

At least 55 people were

injured, 13 seriously. The fire was thought to have started in a first-floor

breakfast room of the one-star Paris Opera hotel in the capital's 9th district, a

popular tourist area, fire officials said.

Many guests were

African. Paris City Hall had rented 26 of the six-story hotel's rooms to temporarily

house families from Africa, fire services spokesman Laurent Vibert said on Europe-1 radio.

The fire broke out after 2 a.m., when guests would have been sleeping. It spread quickly and

caused panic, he said.
