Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe spire and roof of the Notre Dame cathedral have collapsed in the huge fire, according to Paris officials.
The blaze remains out of control. The fire is now burning into the heart of the building, below the roof line, Sky News reports.
The fire has swept through the roof of the famed Cathedral in central Paris this evening, sending flames and huge clouds of grey smoke billowing into the sky.
A spokesman for the cathedral tells AFP that the wooden structure supporting the roof is being gutted by the blaze.
