A massive fire that engulfed Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris on Monday is completely under control. It is partially extinguished and there are residual fires to put out, French firefighters spokesman said. The fire gutted the roof and the spire of the medieval structure. The firefighters managed to save the shell of the stone structure and its two main bell towers from collapse. Huge clouds of yellow smoke could be seen billowing over the eight centuries-old cathedral as the fire raged throughout the evening. The cause of the incident, which was being treated as an accident by the police, was not clear.
