When I try to remember the whole thing, I still feel like all of it was just a bad dream. This wasn’t just a devastating blaze; I saw a thousand years of history burn right before my eyes. I am sure most Parisians, and French people in general, feel the same way.
— Frank Langrais, a recent graduate of Cornell Law School, commenting on his involvement fighting the blaze that nearly consumed the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, France. Langrais is a practicing attorney who works as a volunteer firefighter with the Yvelines Fire and Rescue Service. “[W]orking as an attorney taught me how to approach complex situations, how to look at all sides of an issue and how to be a problem-solver,” he says. “No need to say that those skills can prove very helpful when I leave the office to put on a uniform.”
