PARIS, Nov 16 (Reuters) - A car caught fire in an underground garage in northeast Paris on Friday and two firemen were injured as they tried to control the blaze, police said.

A huge pall of black smoke billowed into the air and could be seen from many parts of Paris.

"It is amazing," the woman in a building near the site of the fire told Reuters by phone, saying she was about 100 metres (300 ft) from the blaze. (Reporting by Kerstin Gehmlich and Swaha Pattanaik; editing by Andrew Roche)
