Although the French Government Seems Desperate
To Write off the Notre Dame Conflagration on April 15, 2019

Mouton says that in the 1990s all the electrical wiring of the cathedral had been updated to contemporary norms. “There is no possibility of a short circuit.” In addition, at that time the best fire-detection and protection systems were installed, supplemented by two fire watchmen on duty around the clock.
