I think it's hard to tell. This is what the windows look like normally:

As you see, you can hardly look inside those towers, so everything inside may be fully ablaze and fed by oxygen.

I just hope one day a Paris firefighter will tell you how to do your job before consulting you on what it is you do and why you do it.

Things I have stated:
  • I am not a firefighter
  • Fireplanes do work very well on forest fires.
  • Fireplanes are very effective.
  • I have seen fireplanes used in the cities on buildings.
  • It's not safe for the public to watch large fires, no matter circumstance.
  • If they're not using fireplanes. There is a reason for them not to do so. (I'll assume maybe due to the age of the building)
End of story.

I was just trying to bring some knowledge to the table. My state has suffered horribly from fires during the summer season for the past few years, so it's something I have experience with but am not completely knowledgeable in. You’re over here drilling me like I’m the fire chief of Paris.
 
Firefighters at the scene have told Reuters news agency that all efforts are now being directed at saving artwork in the cathedral and preventing the collapse of its northern tower.

I was just explaining why planes dropping water on forest fires in the US isn't relevant here.
 
There are massive amounts of lead in the building as well, which develops hellish temperatures as it melts.
 
It seems that they put the fire in the North tower out now and they are concentrating on cooling down the scaffolding. If that scaffolding collapses, it could be hell.

Experts saying that the towers might have saved other buildings in Paris, because the wind was blowing the fire directly at them and they acted as a barrier.
 
From what I just heard, they got some stuff out (I assume smaller things)

It is good the towers look in relatively good shape
 
The towers seem to be saved. There is a lot of headlamps in both of them now.

Now they need to prevent that scaffolding from collapsing.
