According to reports, injuries were reported and local fire chief, Laurent Ferlay in a statement said that 104 firemen were at scene of fire to bring blaze under control. He ded that blaze was t nearly as b as one that ravd tre Dame last year and fire that is believed to have started behind grand organ did t seem to touch roof of cadral.

Nantes cadral was built over a period of five centuries and was completed in 1891.  cadral's main organ, which h survived previous fires, was unfortunately completely destroyed by this one. Even platform on which organ is located has become unstable and risks collapse.
