Fire in Paris – level 2

11-02-2019 07:00

There was a fire in a building in Paris last week. Eight or more people died and nearly 30 people were injured.

The fire broke out in the 16th Paris district, which is a calm and wealthy part of the city. More than 200 firefighters were on the scene. They put out the fire and evacuated people.

The police still do not know the cause of the fire. However, they arrested one woman who lived in the building.

Difficult words: break out (start), district (an area, a part of a city), wealthy (rich people live there).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
