"We're not sure of being able to stop the spread of the fire in the north belfry," a spokesman for the Parisian fire brigade said in television interviews. He said the fire had started in Notre-Dame's attic, and around 400 firefighters were deployed to the site. "I leave you to imagine, in that case, the extent of the damage."

As of Monday evening, a French official announced that Notre-Dame has been saved from "total destruction." They're still scrambling to preserve the priceless artifacts stored in the cathedral.

The cathedral was in "dire need" of restoration, the New York Timesreports. Renovations cost about 120 million euros, according to ABC News.
