Around 30 people have been injured, including six firefighters, and police believe the cause may be criminal. Harrowing footage has emerged showing firefighters rescuing residents who were trapped inside a burning apartment block near Roland Garros. French television showed video of flames in the windows of the building, which authorities said was built in the 1970s. The building where the fire broke out is in west Paris and was constructed in the 1970s. The incident comes less than a month after a gas blast at a bakery in central Paris killed four people.
