D. was in the Longfellow Park chapel when it caught fire this morning:
... I had smelled smoke from the moment I sat down. However, it was very faint, and since I was sitting next to the projector, thought it might be coming from there. It wasn't. ...

Very Scary
For the fire to start with people there and with quick response by the fire department and still progress to something that intense, it probably had to be smoldering in the ceiling before people got there.
It is very good that everyone managed to get out and nobody got hurt. I wonder if people opening doors and windows and turning on ventilation systems gave the fire the air it needed to make its presence known?
This is a major bummer for the congregation, but at least it is not a nightmare of a tragedy. I can think of too many congregations in the area who can sympathize with what they face right now.
