But its never a good idea to let a possible truth get in the way of an opportunity to kill each other.

Quotes from that article:

"We condemn it. But the fire started inside the building... so for company Le Bras this is not a hypothesis, it was not a cigarette butt that set Notre-Dame de Paris on fire," Le Bras Frères spokesman Marc Eskenazi said.

Europe Echaffaudage also ruled out the possibility that the fire might have been started by an electricity incident at one of the two lifts on the site.
"The lifts’ electricity was perfectly within specifications and well maintained,” he said".

So it wasn't cigarette butts, nor was it a "electrical incident" according to that article. The two most probable causes seem to have been ruled out. Or am I missing something?
