About 300 people ended up on the roof of a skyscraper. Eight people were injured. One man and six women, aged 31 to 72, were taken to the hospital.

A mobile point of assistance to the victims was deployed at the site of the fire.

Extinguishing the fire is complicated by the renovation work carried out in the building. The shops on the third floor were closed, with some escalators working in one direction only.
