French Cathedral Spire Catches Fire

The spire of a French cathedral, famously painted by Claude Monet, caught fire on Thursday, raising concerns about a repeat of the Notre Dame fire in 2019.

Firefighters quickly contained the blaze, limiting damage to the spire's metal structure and the protective covering surrounding the site.

Authorities confirmed that no one was injured during the incident and the damage was minimal, but the building will be closely monitored.

The cause of the fire remains unknown, and the cathedral remains closed to the public while investigations continue.
