The roof of Paris’ famed Notre Dame Cathedral collapsed Monday as a massive fire ripped through the structure.
The city’s mayor and firefighters warned people to stay away from the area. There have been no confirmed deaths, according to Paris police, while a French government official said no injuries had yet been reported.
It was not immediately clear what had caused the fire, while local media reported that police in the city were treating it as an accident.
Notre Dame Cathedral built in the 12th Century AD and one of the oldest and most venerated churches in Christendom has also been a focal point in “Les Misrable” and “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”. We all here pray that nobody is injured or killed as the result of this fire. We also hope that the church is repaired and rebuilt to continue standing as an enduring symbol of Christianity. It has always been a dream of the IR posse to go to the cathedral and to worship and pay our respects to our savior. Let’s all pull together and hope this fire is stopped immediately.
