Ubiq: that’s a far cry from arson which some jumped to conclusions of. In any case fire investigators ruled it accidental, not me. Accidents and negligence are not mutually exclusive. Especially in outdoor public spaces (assuming the deck was used by the Shul, I honestly don’t know if this was the case) discarding cigarette butts on the ground and simply stomping at it to put it out is fairly common place. I’m not sayIng it was right, and that wasn’t the point of my comment.
