Some 1,200 tourists were evacuated on Tuesday from the iconic Paris landmark, the Eiffel Tower, after reports of a fire in one of its elevator shafts between the first and second floor.
The fire, which was caused by one of the elevator cables overheating at around 10:30 am, has since been contained, according to Euronews' sources. Access to the tower has been restricted during the operation.
The tourist attraction and one of the world's most famous towers is visited by an average of 15,000 to 25,000 visitors daily.
The Eiffel Tower has experienced one major fire in the past. The January 1956 blaze in its TV control room caused significant damage to its top section. The repairs took a year, and then the current radio antenna was added to its pinnacle.
The French capital remains scarred by the devastating blaze that almost destroyed another prominent landmark, the Notre Dame Cathedral, in 2019.
The Gothic architectural masterpiece was closed for five years and was just reopened to the public earlier this month.

While my 14-year-old daughter was with her first boyfriend, I became close friends with his mom. My teens aren't fans of cruise vacations, so when Disney Cruise Line opened its new private island, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, and my family didn't want to go, I asked my newest mom friend to come along with me to check it out. We decided to go on a multigenerational cruise — a stateroom made up of myself, my friend, her mother, and her 18-year-old daughter — and it was the most fun cruise I've been on in my entire life, thanks to the company.
