Notre Dame Cathedral on Fire

A massive fire broke out at Notre Dame Cathedral in central Paris on Monday afternoon, sending flames shooting out of the roof of the iconic landmark.

Fire officials told Agence France-Press that the fire was potentially linked to the renovation of the building and is believed to have started in the attic.

There were no immediate reports of injuries.

“A terrible fire is underway at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris,” Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo tweeted. “The @PompiersParis are trying to control the flames. We are mobilized on the spot in close connection with the @dioceseParis. I invite everyone to respect the security perimeter.”

Dramatic images posted to social media showed the roof of the medieval cathedral engulfed in flames, and the spire of the cathedral collapsing into the icon church.

Terrible. This was a magnificent & iconic building dating to 1163..............

From what I'm seeing on TV - it looks to be a complete loss. Glad I was able to visit it.
Can't imagine all of the priceless artifacts that maybe lost.................

58 acres of wood used to build the interior

A speech by French President Emmanuel Macron that was scheduled to air on French TV on Monday night was postponed the address in light of the fire.

“Notre-Dame de Paris in flames,” Macron tweeted. “Emotion of a whole nation. Thought for all Catholics and for all French. Like all our compatriots, I am sad tonight to see this part of us burn.”
