Something as historic as this building would have teams of people cataloging every nail being removed, every stone, every piece of wood, if this were a true historic renovation.
Where were these teams of people? Are there no eye witnesses to the original spark if this happened at an active renovation site?
A spark from temporary lighting or from extension cord would presumably be from a light or a cord being used at the moment. This work would be going on during late afternoon on the Monday before Easter weekend. Is this a heavy workday for a church restoration team, or would the restoration be stopped for church services preparation?

The start of the fire would have been several hours ago by now. Looks like they’d at least have any eyewitness accounts from workers or church personnel by now, or have determined that there were none.
And no mention of any people being injured inside the cathedral, AFAIK.
The very basic information one might expect by now has not been presented yet.
Half of the workforce is probably Muslim.
