BREAKING: Massive blaze engulfs Notre Dame cathedral in Paris

A HUGE blaze has broken out at the Notre Dame cathedral in France’s capital city.

The cathedral has been undergoing renovations with some areas around the spire surrounded by scaffolding.

The cause of the blaze is not immediately known.

So horrible to watch the massive fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Perhaps flying water tankers could be used to put it out. Must act quickly!
