NANTES , France, June 15 (UPI) -- A massive fire Monday destroyed the roof of the St. Donatien basilica in Nantes, France.
Ninety firefighters and firefighting aircraft were involved in containing the blaze, which is "probably linked to waterproofing work that was taking place on the roof,' the Nantes fire officer said. He referred to the fire as "contained." Although workmen were on the roof when the fire began, shortly after a Mass had ended within the church, no injuries were reported.
