The roof is/was wood. That's what burned.


Well, technically, the roof was lead/tin shingles. The support beams for the roof (and a good many parts of the church, like the bell supports) were wood.

My point is that building of brick/concrete doesn't guarantee you're rid of flammable infrastructure.
