Yeah, so, fire. Why don’t we go to the - primarily built from stone - Notre Dame and ask how that went.

- bombela 5y agoThe roof is/was wood. That's what burned.
- falcolas 5y agoWell, technically, the roof was lead/tin shingles. The support beams for the roof (and a good many parts of the church, like the bell supports) were wood. My point is that building of brick/concrete doesn't guarantee you're rid of flammable infrastructure.
- koyote 5y agoWell if you take into account that the roof framing that caught fire was made out of timber I think that highlights that even just using wood as part of the building is a massive fire hazard.
