Flames can't melt medieval oak beams...
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

I do not really know for sure, but I would have assumed 800 year old timber would go out in a blaze if lit.

The leftist world is now in an uproar about the donations to see the church restored. That money should go to the poor you see. Won't somebody think of the destitute Americans, starving in the food deserts created by billionaires?

And oddly ... it should always go to them.

The roof was rebuilt in the 19th century including the spire which collapsed.
You're right though, old dry timber burns.
This could have started days before the fire got out of hand. A single carelessly extinguished Gauloises could have been the cause.
I've heard that it took 13,000 oak trees to provide the timber to build the roof (over 50 acres of forest). The longest beams are 45m long and nothing over 40m is available today. To re-build in oak they would have to change the design.
Very few people ever see it because of the crypted ceiling.
I would rather they used steel to rebuild it and saved the oak trees for something else.
