PARIS—An alarm was raised at Notre Dame at 6:20 p.m. on Monday night—23 minutes before the structure was engulfed in flames—but officials found no sign of a fire.

Firefighters who responded to a second alert raced to the scene but were unable to tame an inferno that ripped through the 12th century cathedral for the next 9 hours.

Sounds like someone lit a fuse.

“...but officials found no sign of a fire...”

I wouldn’t want to be in that meeting.

CNN Newsroom ‏ Verified account @CNNnewsroom 3m3 minutes ago More "We understand a fire alarm first rang out at 6:20 P.M. The building was evacuated. Hence the fact this has not been a human catastrophe," explains @MelissaBell outside Notre Dame in Paris. "We reckon over $600 million has already been pledged," to rebuild the Cathedral.

Time reporter deleted tweet

“A Jesuit friend in Paris who works in Notre Dame told me cathedral staff said the fire was intentionally set.”

From the look of the flames it looked like the Roof wood was soaked in Creosote

if a church burn-rate of 3 per day,
and the 1 mo anniversary of the last terrorism south
of the equator,
and the moment the last attempted bomber of the building
was sent to jail,
did not awaken them, then they were in on it.

If it turns out not to be a tragic accident but intentionally set we have to look at the religion of peace angle. That was my immediate first thought when I saw the news. Beginning of holy week and it’s probably the second most famous Church building in the world. The Islamo Fascists love their symbolism.

How was the alarm expressed? Was there a smoke detector that went off and alerted people? Did someone notice something (hmmm) and call in an alarm?

[ßuddaßudd]

Im wagering the muslims wont allow it to be rebuilt, as it was before..

I have a French Government Issue Fire Axe for sale, in brand new condition, dropped only once.

[Buckeye McFrog]

All of the firemen in the immediate vicinity must have been off enjoying their government mandated sixteen weeks of paid vacation.

Responding to another alarm briefly after something has already been called in leads to a natural human skepticism. One or two people may be blamed for the initial snafu—but this also points to arson.

No offense, but I think all in all they did a very good job as a group.

The French Army jokes can take a few days off.

Maybe it was a spark in the center fuel tank?

[deport]

LOL....... But a new world record was set in
the 100 yd dash after it was dropped.

Actually, I thought by now there would be an attempt to blame it on the Yellow Vests. I'll have to wait and see.
