Abstract

When France’s historic cathedral burst into flames in April 2019, the Paris Fire Brigade faced a daunting dilemma. Could this ancient structure be saved? This talk will analyze the effort to prevent the cathedral’s total destruction and save the historic religious relics and art work that Parisians and the French people regard as a critical element of its patrimony. It will also explore some larger issues about the need to protect important historic and cultural resources from disaster.
