UPDATE: The original report that the fire has been contained was premature. As of 8:59 pm local time [2:59 pm ET] the fire is raging once again.
Paris, France -- Notre Dame Cathedral is being consumed by a massive fire. The cause of the fire is not known but it is believed to have started near a construction area. It is believed to have started around 6:00 pm Monday.
Although there is no known cause as yet, France has been the target of terrorist attacks. But at this time, there is absolutely no evidence of this. Yesterday was Palm Sunday.
Firefighters are working feverishly to try saving some of the priceless artwork inside and the good news is that some ancient statues had already been removed due to the construction that was to begin.
The interior wooden structure has been destroyed and one spire has been totally destroyed as well.
People are watching in disbelief and some have even been taken to the street in wheelchairs to view this historic tragedy.
At this time, 2:55 ET, the fire appears to be contained.
There are no reported injuries.
More to follow as this is a developing situation.
