A large fire broke out on the rooftop of Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University on Thursday as a result of a gas bottle explosion, leaving three people with minor injuries.
The University confirmed a gas bottle explosion started the blaze, and tweeted shortly after 09:30am (08:30 GMT) to advise people to stay away from the building that hosted the biology department.
"I saw that a lot of smoke was coming out of this building, then there was a second explosion which made a loud noise, and also the windows of the library shook a bit," said one student.
Firefighters put the fire under control shortly after 10:00am (09:00 GMT), according to police and the university.
