Early Sunday morning, a fire broke out at the Iglesia Adventista Del Septimo Dia in north Fort Worth, Texas. The alarms went off just before 4 a.m., alerting authorities to the heavy fire in the back of the church and the storage area behind the altar, which then spread to the roof. The entire building suffered smoke damage, with the sanctuary altar area being particularly affected. Thankfully, no one was injured in the incident.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by the Fort Worth Fire Department. However, they have noted that arcing wires from an electrical pole near the church were seen, suggesting a possible connection to the fire.
The Fort Worth Fire Department is working diligently to determine the exact cause of the fire and ensure the safety of the surrounding area. They have not yet released any further information regarding the incident.
The community has come together to support the church during this difficult time, offering prayers and assistance in any way they can. It is a reminder of the importance of fire safety and the need for vigilance in protecting not only homes but also places of worship. The Iglesia Adventista Del Septimo Dia will need to undergo repairs and renovations to restore the building to its former glory.
