SETE, the organization responsible for managing the Eiffel Tower, evacuated visitors as part of established safety protocols

The tower had been temporarily closed to the public following the fire alarm being triggered, but has since been reopened up to the second floor.

Multiple people had to be evacuated from the Eiffel Tower after the fire alarm was triggered at the iconic landmark. Société d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (SETE) said in a statement to Newsweek that a short circuit on the power rail of an elevator between the second floor and the summit triggered the monument's fire alarm system but there was no danger.

The cause behind the Eiffel Tower evacuation on Christmas Eve has been confirmed, following a technical issue.

Paris' iconic Eiffel Tower was evacuated on Tuesday over security concerns following an electrical emergency, according to local media reports. One of the power rails in the tower's elevators was hit by a short circuit, broadcaster BFMTV said, citing sources from the tower operator company SETE.
