French authorities are investigating a fire at a migrant reception center in the suburbs of Paris. One man died after he jumped from a third-floor window, police said, and 13 others were injured in the blaze. Dozens of firefighters responded to the blaze and were able to rescue six people from the building. Initial examinations have found traces of fuel and fire accelerator in the lobby of the building, according to French media reports. Migrant centers in the country have been targets of arson attacks for months now, as more have been opened following efforts to dismantle makeshift camps.
