We will never hear that it was anything other than an accident caused by the renovations. Regardless of what it was, they've got a perfect cover story already in place even if it was "some people doing something"...

Works both ways. Muslim terrorism and recent attacks on churches in France including the beheading of a priest makes vandalism totally believable, but the age of the wood in the building, flammability of so many other materials and ongoing work on the structure point just as strongly to a work accident/code violation or act of carelessness.
No sense in jumping to conclusions until investigators take a crack at it.
