Fire rips through historic Paris railway station
A fire has swept through Saint-Lazare railway station in Paris, injuring
five people and gutting part of an historic ticket office known as the Hall
of Lost Steps.
More than 150 firefighters fought the blaze, which broke out in a technical
area and spread through five floors of an adjacent office building, causing
serious damage.
The fire has been brought under control but train services between Paris and
the north-west region of Normandy face disruption.
The cause of the fire was not immediately clear.
