Historic Saint-Sulpice church burns in Paris (VIDEO)
Paris’ historical Saint-Sulpice church has been damaged by the blaze which was bursting though the doors of the 19th Century building. The cause of the fire is unknown.
Firefighters were sent to deal with the blaze early on Sunday afternoon, Le Parisien reported. According to the newspaper, the wooden doors were on fire, and a stained glass window was damaged. The rest of the damage “seems minor,” the daily paper said.
Dramatic footage shared on social media shows the interior of the church in flames, with smoke billowing up to its arched roof. From outside, video footage shows firefighters hosing down the burning doors.
