Hours after a massive fire engulfed the historic Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on Monday, a city official said the structure of the building had been saved.

The fire caused the cathedral's roof to collapse, destroyed a spire and spread to one of the building's two rectangular towers. The sight brought many onlookers to tears.


Those living near Notre Dame were evacuated as a precaution, the mayor's office said. The Paris prosecutors’ office ruled out arson and possible terror-related motives, and said it was treating the fire as an accident, The Associated Press reported.

French President Emmanuel Macron thanked the hundreds of firefighters who showed "extreme courage and professionalism" to keep the cathedral from complete destruction during a news conference Monday night.

Flames could be seen near scaffolding — high at the top of the famous church where $6.8 million in renovations were being completed — and billowing smoke was seen from miles away in the French capital.


Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said that thanks to those responding to the fire, many of the precious artifacts inside the cathedral, including a relic believed to be worn by Jesus Christ which was stored in the collapsed spire, had been saved.

"The crown of thorns, the tunic of Saint Louis and several other major works are now in a safe place," Hidalgo said in French on Twitter.

France's Minister of Culture Franck Riester posted photos of French authorities loading art and other historic pieces into a truck social media.

"They are gradually being put into safety," Riester said.

Michel Picaud, from the Friends of Notre Dame organization responsible for the renovation efforts, told NBC News that, to his knowledge, the church's organ and stained glass windows were not damaged.

"The entire roof is fully destroyed," Picaud said. "The fire started up near the roof top while another fire started in the north bell tower."
