Reuters: No sign of arson in Notre-Dame blaze as nation grieves for symbol

PARIS (Reuters) - The fire that tore through Notre-Dame cathedral was probably caused by accident, French prosecutors said on Tuesday after firefighters doused the last flames in the ruins overnight and the nation grieved for the destruction of one of its symbols.

More than 400 firemen were needed to tame the inferno that consumed the roof and collapsed the spire of the eight-centuries-old cathedral. They worked through the night to extinguish the fire some 14 hours after it began.

One firefighter was injured but no one else was hurt in the blaze which began after the building was closed to the public for the evening.
