19 hurt in France building blaze: fire service

TOULOUSE, France, Jan 10, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Nineteen people were injured,
two seriously, when a fire swept through a four-storey apartment building in
the southwestern French city of Toulouse, the fire service told AFP on
Thursday.

Part of the building collapsed and guests from a neighbouring hotel were
also evacuated, said fire lieutenant-colonel Sylvain Gergaud.

The blaze had been brought under control by daybreak.
