Ex-Paris Fire Brigade Spokesman Says Fire Safety Was Ensured at Notre Dame

GENEVA (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th April, 2019) Fire safety rules were followed very strictly at the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris but the fire will be hard to put out as it broke out on the roof, the former spokesman for the city's fire department said.

"Firefighters know this building very well.

It was administered as a national heritage site and all necessary fire precautions were taken," Laurent Vibert told French BFM tv channel.

Hundreds of firefighters are struggling to contain the blaze, which has collapsed the Gothic building's spire and the entire roof and destroyed the clock. The cathedral was being renovated.
