Fire breaks out in spire of Rouen Cathedral in northwest France
The Notre Dame of Rouen Cathedral is undergoing renovations and thick smoke was seen rising from the spire, which is partially covered in scaffolding.
Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol, the Mayor of Rouen, which is in France's northern Normandy region, said no one was injured.
A security perimeter was set up around the large cathedral, which was built starting almost 1,000 years ago.
