Chirac urges action after seven immigrants die in blaze

PARIS (Reuters) - French President Jacques Chirac ordered action on fire safety on Tuesday after seven immigrants, including four children, died in a blaze in a rundown building in Paris, days after 17 immigrants died in a similar tragedy. 

Monday night's fire raised questions about the government's housing policies as it came three days after 17 African immigrants died in another blaze in Paris. Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy requested all squats in the capital be closed.
