Notre Dame on fire - looks pretty serious

[kiethton]

Hope the damage isn’t that bad but doesn’t look good!

[Gameface]

That's really not good.

Been there a few times.

Gosh, that’s heartbreaking to see

[ellroy]

That’s not looking great, lovely building.

[schmalex]

Fingers crossed the Pompiers can get it under control

[gregs656]

What a shame. I hope they get it under control quickly.

If not, he's likely to take the hump...

[Gameface]

That's going to get a lot worse.

What a huge cultural loss.

Hopefully there's no loss of life.

I wonder how well equipped the fire service are there. AIUI* there's no high rise buildings allowed so would they have the reach to get that high?

*Vague memories from school a few decades ago.

ETA nothing higher than 7 storeys in the centre apparently.

That's going to be a total loss, no way will they be able to get enough kit up there to tackle it

[red_slr]

Live video on sky its well going, will be hard to put that out. Whilst I have no interest in churches its sad to see something that's 700 yeas old burn.

Absolutely heartbreaking, I'd have thought a thousand year old cathedral and world heritage site would have had sprinklers.
