Notre-Dame cathedral: Firefighters tackle blaze in Paris

I am a firefighter. Salvage operations are part of every fire (usually after the bulk of the fire is under control, but given sufficient manpower it also happens concurrently with fire attack operations).

They're not going to take huge risks. Any environment that would be extremely dangerous would be an area where any art has already been destroyed.

Swiss firefighters work on the four priorities of save lives, stop the fire, protect property from damage (including livestock), and protect the environment. Once lives and the spread of fire are under control, reducing the cost to the victims (emotional and financial) are why they are there.

Also a paramedic and developer. You can imagine that the firefighting experience comes in handy a lot.
