I totally agree. Would the Fire Dept be consulted on a risk assessment?

I think the reality too often is people that truly don't give a toss. Add folk that have no clue what they're doing & people still drunk or stoned and no surprise things go wrong. I had to take a blowlamp off someone not too long ago. What he was doing with it was a disaster. It's hard to mandate care.

Make the people involved financially responsible and partial improvement would occur.

It was certainly expected even on our little 10.5 metre steel boat when there was welding being done. It saved the boat from a serious fire too as I was inside keeping watch while they were welding plates outside and caught a fire before it got too serious, was still a bit too exciting for my liking though. I got out sharpish and said there was a fire, there were three or four hefty lads with breathing apparatus on inside the boat very quickly!

Interestingly about 10 other churches in France have been fire bombed in recent weeks, but somehow I'd imagine security on such a high profile site would have precluded that as the cause, more likely health and safety failings by the renovation crew. Brian

The Cutty Sark don't forget that one. Of course the state owns and maintains churches in France so its the taxpayer who will pay. Brian

Does anyone know if they have metal scaffold planks in France as looking at the pictures this morning although the roof and wood and presumably the lead on same have all gone and the scaffold tubes are a bit sagged a lot, the planking seems intact?

Dunno about Paris but last time I saw them putting scaffolding up the Elizabeth Tower ("Big Ben") they were using metal staging boards.

Good Winky article here about the fire and consequences:
(much better than the dribs and drabs on the BBC site).

Thank you. A very good read.
It looks like it may not be as bad as I feared - the stone vault is largely intact.

Yes, I didn't realise it's a stone vault. I assumed that the ceiling would burn as well as the roof, leading to both collapsing and burning everything down below too.

I was recently in the loft of Norwich Catholic Cathedral (you can go up the tower, and that's the access route. The tower is the highest accessible point in Norwich; the views are wonderful)
The ceiling there is held up by timbers.
