About 1,200 people were evacuated from the Eiffel Tower after a fire broke out in one of the elevator shafts. The fire broke out between the first and second platforms of the Paris tower, and no one was injured.
Firefighters managed to control the fire, and special equipment was put into operation. According to preliminary information, the cause of the fire was the overheating of the elevator cable. A short circuit of power wires is also not excluded.
