commencement or progress of the Work by (...) fire, unusual delay in

Good Samaritan legislation affords critical liability protection to architects
providing disaster assistance. A number of states have adopted Good
Samaritan laws intended to provide at least some protection to licensed
architects against liability for voluntary services during a government-
declared disaster, whether manmade or natural.
