Fire at the Eiffel Tower

Oh, to be a fly on the wall when the fire alarm sounded at the Eiffel Tower. The iconic Paris landmark, which sees millions of visitors each year, was evacuated on Christmas Eve after a fire broke out in one of the elevator shafts.
Thankfully, the fire was quickly contained and there were no injuries, but it's still a sobering reminder of the importance of fire safety, especially in such a popular tourist destination.
I can only imagine the chaos that ensued when the alarm went off. Tourists from all over the world, speaking a dozen different languages, would have been trying to make their way out of the tower as quickly as possible.
I'm sure there were some pretty scared people in that crowd. But thankfully, the staff at the Eiffel Tower were well-trained and able to evacuate everyone safely.
This incident is a reminder that we can never be too careful when it comes to fire safety. Even in a place like the Eiffel Tower, which is known for its safety standards, a fire can still break out.
So, next time you're visiting a public place, take a moment to look around and identify the nearest fire exits. You never know when you might need them.
And if you ever hear a fire alarm, don't hesitate. Get out of the building as quickly as possible.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
