The fire warning system at Notre-Dame took dozens of experts six years to put together, and in the end involved thousands of pages of diagrams, maps, spreadsheets and contracts, according to archival documents found in a suburban Paris library by The Times.

The result was a system so arcane that when it was called upon to do the one thing that mattered — warn “fire!” and say where — it produced instead a nearly indecipherable message.

It was honestly in a deplorable state before the fire. They were still cleaning soot and black pollution stains off the walls from a 20 year old project just last year. The people love it but they do fuck all to preserve it.
