Days before a fire tore through the roof of Holy Name Cathedral, repair work was done on a de-icing system that prevented the build-up of ice along the gutters. Now, investigators are focusing on the de-icing system-an electrical cable running along the roofline-and the repair work done on it within the last few days.
