Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral has been saved after the roof collapsed Monday
as a massive fire ripped through the structure. Firefighters say the fire
has been largely extinguished.
The area surrounding the cathedral was evacuated in case the structure
fell.
A French Interior Ministry official had previously said firefighters may
not have been able to save the cathedral.
Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral has been saved from “total destruction,”
according to a French fire official, after a massive fire ripped through
the structure on Monday and caused the roof and main spire to collapse.
The blaze burned for eight hours, but has now been largely extinguished,
according to firefighters. One official was quoted as saying the two
iconic rectangular towers have been saved, which will come a relief after
one of the towers caught fire earlier in the evening. Earlier, a French
Interior Ministry official had said that firefighters might not be able to
save the cathedral.
“The worst has been avoided, but the battle isn’t fully won yet,” French
President Emmanuel Macron said in a statement outside of the cathedral. He
also expressed his sympathies to Catholics around the world, the people of
Paris and the people of France. The fire broke out just days before
Easter.
“We will rebuild the cathedral together,” Macron said, adding that France
will start an international fundraising campaign to raise money for the
renovations.

President Macron is treating the fire as a national emergency.
Residents living close to the cathedral were evacuated in case the
building collapsed, said Paris Mayor Anne Hildago. The area surrounding
the cathedral, Paris’ Ile de la Cite, was also evacuated, according to
Reuters.
One fireman was “seriously injured,” an official said. That was the only
reported casualty, according to Reuters.

The Paris prosecutor’s office opened an investigation into the fire soon
after the damage began. Late Monday, prosecutors said their preliminary
findings suggested the huge fire had been started accidentally.
Firefighters at the scene directed much of their efforts toward saving the
artwork stored at the back of the cathedral, which had been undergoing
renovations.
Notably, 16 religious statues were removed from the cathedral for cleaning
on Thursday — for the first time in over a century — and therefore escaped
the fire.

At one point, as many as four hundred firefighters were working to put out
the blaze, according to the Ministry of the Interior for France.
Earlier on Monday, a cathedral spokesman said the entire wooden interior
of the Notre Dame was burning and likely to be destroyed.
