Police: Short-circuit likely caused Notre Dame fire

A French judicial police official said investigators think an electrical short-circuit most likely caused Notre Dame Cathedral fire. The official, who spoke anonymously about the ongoing investigation, said investigators still don’t have the green light to work in the cathedral and search in the rubble for safety reasons. He told The Associated Press the monument is still being consolidated with wooden planks to support some fragilize parts of the walls. The remaining paintings inside the cathedral in Paris were set to be removed yesterday and stored, with fire service officials now satisfied the damaged structure is safe enough to go inside.
