Video: Fire Engulfs Historic French Church
Video captured a fire on the roof of the 19th century Basilica of Saint Donatian on Monday in the western French city of Nantes.The roof spaces of churches are notoriously fire prone.
Smoking and lightening as well as open flame lamps are reasons.

Incidentally arithmetic is a tiny corner of mathematics.
