Father Dave Smith talks about a fire in Dulwich Hill that gutted the 98 year-old Holy Trinity Anglican church.

Q: Father Dave ... can you just tell us what sparked the fire?

A: We don't have a clue, I think the police will hopefully come up with something but ironically I only got to bed just before the thing went up at just before 4am. And everything was very quiet, and these things don't tend to go up by themselves. So it's suspicious.

Given the church's location, and recent events in Boston, you might be tempted to join the dots, but that's just speculation at this stage.
