When I was a teenager, someone intentionally set fire to our church. My father, the minister, was actively working with gangs at the time and one of the members was pretty over the top.

Fortunately, the church was primarily made of stone and survived, but the smell lingered for a very, very long time.

I hope that you will rebuild soon and successfully.
