“About forty firefighters from a dozen rescue centers are mobilized”, specifies the spokesperson for the Paris fire brigade (BSPP).
A total of four people were injured, including a woman seriously.
“One person was in a state of absolute emergency, explains the BSPP spokesperson.

A very fragile structure
Firefighters from the special urban search and rescue unit were called in to help.
The flames having devoured the pavilion, the structure is very fragile and risks collapsing.
"They come in particular to consolidate the structure", continues the head of the BSPP.
To complete their actions, the emergency services also called in "a high-powered foam van to finish extinguishing the fire and flood anything that may be residual with foam".
The fire did not spread to neighboring buildings and pavilions.
Mayor Abdel Sadi (PCF) went there.
“Some residents of the neighboring building were evacuated as a precaution, indicates the municipality.
We offered them to come and warm up at the town hall if they wanted to.
The technical teams of the town hall are also mobilized rue Raspail, because the pavilion may be in danger of collapsing.
At this time, we have not been asked for temporary accommodation, but if there is a need, we will make it available.
We are obviously thinking of the injured people and we hope that they will recover.
