Notre Dame fire
Notre Dame fire A structure fire broke out beneath the roof of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris on 15 April 2019, just before 18:20. By the time it was extinguished, the building's spire and most of its roof had been destroyed and its upper walls severely damaged; extensive damage to the interior was prevented by its stone vaulted ceiling, which largely contained the burning roof as it collapsed. A major fire engulfed one of France's most famous monuments - the medieval cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris.This a reportage on that night and the following morning.
