Four people, including a child, have died following a devastating overnight fire in the northern French city of Reims, local authorities confirmed on Friday. Another child remains missing.

The blaze broke out shortly after midnight in a fourth-floor flat within a residential building, quickly spreading through the structure. Emergency services were deployed to the scene and managed to extinguish the fire, but the cause remains unknown at this stage.

Two adults sustained serious injuries and were transported to hospital for urgent medical care. Additionally, 12 others were treated for minor injuries. Officials stated that the number of casualties remains provisional, as emergency crews have not yet been able to fully search the severely damaged apartment.

Local officials expressed concern over the missing child and emphasised that a full investigation is underway to determine the origin of the blaze. The fire prompted a significant emergency response, including firefighters, medics, and law enforcement.
