Fantastic read. This bit really got me:

“At that point,” Mr. Weil added, “it was clear that some firefighters were going to go into the cathedral without knowing if they would come back out.”

We don't appreciate these people enough, sometimes.

People do still have a strong sense of public duty and patriotism. Notre Dame is certainly an example of a nationally important building, so I can see what motivated the guys to take the risks, but that makes it no less impressive or commendable. Many would not.
