What's going on in the world today. The church is on fire. I hope it's not arson maybe it's old electric wires..may god help us ..

this is why we need to demolish or at the very least strongly secure burned buildings, a second burn is always so much more dangerous for our LAFD - weakened structure often collapses, as did this one. a magnet for squatters, too.

If you live in the area you know this makes the fourth or fifth church to burn within a 2 mile radius. 😞

except this is already one of those 4 or 5 - it's already burned at least once... squatters come in, cook foos or meth, and burn the place a second or third time.... and churches are empty more often than they are occupied, so that's another reason why they are a good target, not for any particular religious reasons
