Fourteen children and three adults have died in a fire that swept through a building in Paris housing African immigrants, French police say
BBC News:
The fire broke out in the capital's 13th district shortly after midnight. Thirty people were injured.
Some 200 firefighters took two hours to control the blaze and help many of the building's 130 residents to safety.
In April, 24 people died in a fire at a Paris hotel also housing immigrants, prompting calls for better housing.
Friday's fire broke out in a stairwell in the dilapidated, seven-storey building at around 0017 (2217 GMT Thursday).
Some 210 firemen from 22 stations around the city were called to the scene, managing to bring the blaze under control after about two hours.
The building was reportedly used by charitable organisations to house immigrants.
Local residents said many of those living in the apartment block were from Senegal and Mali.

This story, especially as covered by the ultra politically correct BBC, is most notable for what isn't reported, rather than what is.
There is no question that many of these people are not "immigrants" at all, at least not as most people would imagine an immigrant. Instead they are destitute would-be asylum seekers, refugees, or illegal entrants, whom the French do not have the guts (it takes guts to withstand being called names by the BBC) to deport.
And most of these "charitable organisations" get their money from the French government -- they undertake the logistics, while French taxpayers pay the bills. It's roughly equivalent to Section 8 housing in the US, where slumlords collect princely rents for their hovels.
How can it possibly make sense for a nation like France to accept as "immigrants" so many people like this? Too many of them will only go on to flounder -- to fail miserably to adapt to life in a (for now) first world country like France. For proof of this, see this earlier story on the same BBC web site:
[France forming ethnic ghettoes]
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/3871447.stm
Note again the dishonest way the BBC headlines/reports this story: Are the French really forming these "ethnic ghettoes"? Or are these places forming as a result of the abject failure of the inhabitants to make the transition to life in France?
Such a situation is the very definition of social pathology.
And the French are busy importing it on a huge scale.
Madness.
How can it possibly make sense for a nation like France to accept as "immigrants" so many people like this?
Sadly it seems that French politicians are engaged in the same destructive activities as their US counterparts regarding illegal immigrants.
