A fire fighting robot called Colossus helped battle the Notre-Dame blaze Teach World
While there was broad harm done to the structure, the flame at Notre-Dame didn't thoroughly crush the 856-year-old church. Helping the 400+ firemen handle the blast was Colossus—the Paris Firefighter Brigade's 1,100-pound robot.
Endeavoring to put out the 15-hour inferno that began at Notre-Dame on Monday exhibited some one of a kind difficulties. US fireman Gregg Favre clarified how old houses of worship have scarcely any, uninvolved flame insurance frameworks, and that the overwhelming 2.5-inch fire hoses are hard to move and to a great extent incapable against flames like these. Be that as it may, the greatest concern was the danger of the old timber structure crumbling over the firemen.

Answering to @GreggFavre
Inside is an entire other issue. The essential alternative is substantial 2.5" fire hoses.
These are overwhelming, hard to move and against a flame this way, generally ineffectual.

This alternative likewise implies setting responders within as the rooftop is tumbling down around them.
What's more, we aren't talking shingles.

Fortunately, Colossus was close by to help. The robot's structure enables it to bear cruel conditions while working a fire hose, moving hurling hardware, or conveying the injured to security. The machine, which is around 5.25-feet long, 2.5-feet wide, and somewhat under 2.5-feet tall, can be worked from 1000-feet away.
French firm Shark Robotics made Colossus, which, as you'd envision, is waterproof and heat proof. The six lithium-particle batteries control two electric engines that can push the robot to 2.2 mph. It's additionally ready to navigate troublesome territory and convey 1,200 pounds.
Mammoth had different machines helping it battle the Notre-Dame fire. Two automatons—a DJI Mavic Pro and a Matrice M210—were utilized to thermally outline constructing and direct water toward the most sultry parts.

Using Colossus guaranteed no one was killed amid the flame, however two cops and a fireman were allegedly harmed, as indicated by the New York Times.
Various organizations and people, including Apple and Ubisoft, have given cash to help revamp Notre-Dame. The store achieved one billion Euros ($1.13 billion) after only two days, bringing inquiries about whether some French contributors had ulterior intentions, for example, tax cuts and political impact, and why it has raised far beyond other, ostensibly increasingly admirable motivation. Should the protection pay for the flame harm, the gifts probably won't be required.
