no single person should feel any guilt or responsibility, especially a worker. sure, maybe someone left a tool on or created sparks that could start a fire. but someone else planning the project should have anticipated and mitigated the risk. someone else should have had implemented redundant safety checks. some other person should have made sure adequate fire protection was in place. Pierre should have not gotten drunk Monday night and not been a no show. if a million people put a little more in the offering plate, maybe there'd have been more cash for proper renovation, sooner? there are always multiple causes to disasters, let's not beat up on the tradies who were doing the work.
