Firefighters form human chain to rescue priceless treasuresSome 400 firefighters tackled the huge blaze at the 12th century Gothic masterpiece and, oblivious to the danger they faced, saw their efforts rewarded as they saved the main structure. "We started to panic when we smelt scorching," even before the flames emerged, said Philippe Marsset, vicar general of Notre-Dame who watched aghast with horrified Parisians and tourists as the drama unfolded. The firefighters then moved in, seeking out as many of the building's treasures as they could, forming a human chain to bring them to safety.
