Arson? Insurance? New development?

Gosh, we just couldn't imagine why a building would burn on July 4th... 🤔

[@Beelzebub-x9f]

That's one way to get from under a lease

[@brandonrenkes9002]

If you were going to burn a building down for an insurance payout, wouldn't July 4th make sense.

[@DurkMcGerk]

@@brandonrenkes9002 sure it would, but they can tell how fires start. They have investigation teams that specialize in that.
