The cause of the blaze that burned for hours and injured at least 31 people is unclear. She said shaken residents were brought to her building and the one next door while firefighters continued to fight the flames. The building is on Rue Erlanger in the 16th arrondissement, one of the most high-end and calmest districts of Paris. More than 200 firefighters and emergency workers were involved in the operation, Paris police said, and the street was blocked off. The fire comes a month after a deadly explosion and blaze linked to a gas leak in a Paris bakery.
