Now, experts say, the fire Department deserve praise for their efforts.
The challenges for the forces were immense. The biggest Problem was to get the wooden beams that formed the frame for the towering roof, quote media experts. Already 20 minutes after the Fire broke out, it was “pretty obvious” that it would be a bad fire, says Gregg Favre, a former fireman of the channel CNN.
as soon As the beams start to burn, it’ll be very difficult to get to the Fire. The stone façade holds back heat and smoke. As a result, the firefighters can no longer work in the Interior.

the height of the Notre Dame, the fire brigade were huge problems. The towers had a stove kind of like a high by bringing the fire with additional oxygen. The fuel for the fire is in the air, says another expert to CNN. The firefighters could not quickly enough get to the source of the flames.

The us President, Donald Trump had the same idea: “Quick, fire-fighting aircraft,” he told the Paris fire brigade via Twitter. The French civil protection responded: “to throw water out of a plane could result in this type of building to the collapse of the entire structure. Our people give their Maximum.”
Thomas von Essen, during the attacks of September 11. September, the New York city fire Department served, says to CNN, the photos of the Interior is encouraging. Material, that while days may smolder, seemed to have been brought out. Large parts of the building could have been saved thanks to the use. “These firefighters should be commended.”
