BYOP, DO NOT PARK ON 10th AVE
This puzzle is based on a historical church fire in Chile in the 1800s. I have always been fascinated with history, especially obscure stories that almost no one has heard of but are really interesting. My uncle wrote this amazing article called "Fire and Faith" on "History Today." You might not need the article to figure out most of the answers, but please read it; it's really good.
