Discuss Notre Dame Cathedral Fire in the Electricians Chat - Off Topic Chat area at ElectriciansForums.net

What's really tragic is how we never learn - we're just reactive. How much fire detection and prevention equipment could be bought for a tiny fraction of what it will now cost? With a place as precious and irreplaceable as that, even a single night watchman (remember those) with a fire extinguisher would have cost peanuts in comparison!
Look out for the next renovation to go up in smoke.
 
I had a hunch he was to blame

wish these bloody arsonists would give us Scousers a break, only just finished looting |Yorkminster and Windsor Castle.
 
Night watchman (or two) with heat sensitive IR cameras.

Even so, the speed with which timber this old and dry, surrounded as it typically is by combustible detritus like old birds nest and so forth, can go up in smoke is incredible so a fire may very well have still become uncontrollable before spotted anyway.
