![]() A friend of mine who used to work for fire dept. said that neither he nor anyone he knows has ever heard of a church catching fire (except the cases where its done deliberately). Most churches are made out of wood and have tons of burning candles in them which make one hell of a fire hasard... but not really. I found this very interesting and decided to look deeper into the notion. |

![]() Actually, the church I attended when I was young burnt down, and there were no candles in it (it was a Presbyterian church, and I believe you're thinking of Catholic churches or cathedrals when you say "tons of burning candles"--Protestants don't light candles like that). The church building was a hundred years old or so, and was a historical landmark in our little town (hamlet, actually--we didn't have enough people to be a town). So that kind of sucked. |

![]() I've been attending the same church for a while now and several years ago half of it burnt down. I think it was an electrical problem that started it. So it does happen. |
