Daily Mail: Twenty-three minutes that could have saved Notre Dame? Alarm was raised during mass at 6.20pm but staff could not find the fire until 6.43pm ....when the inferno was raging out of control
* Heroic rescue team charged into the burning cathedral and saved the 850-year-old building from destruction
* Notre Dame's roof and spire collapsed but priceless treasures including reputed crown of Jesus were saved
* Today photos of the cathedral's interior showed debris strewn across the floor and the wooden roof missing
* Police currently interviewing specialist restorers who were carrying out works on the cathedral's iconic spire
* Authorities currently treating blaze as a tragic accident caused by a 'stray flame' and not arson or terrorism
* Two of France's richest men have pledged 300million euros with the total donor tally at over 600million
Officials attending the Notre Dame blaze initially couldn't find any sign of fire despite the alarm being raised 23 minutes before the structure went up in flames.
Paris public prosecutor Rémy Heitz announced on Tuesday that firefighters were called to the world-famous cathedral at 6.20pm CET, almost half an hour before the roof caught fire after a fire alarm was triggered.
