Birmingham's NBC13 reported this morning that the building of a church of Christ in Walker County, Alabama had burned last night. No word yet on the cause. There's no story yet on the website, but likely one will be up later.
UPDATE: From the Birmingham News:
Sheriff John Mark Tirey said no obvious cause of fire has been found at the Tubbs Church of Christ near Oakman. He said investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives plan to bring a specially trained dog to the scene to search for the source of the fire.
Tirey said a call came in to authorities through the 911 system at 3 a.m. It was made by a passerby who saw flames coming from the church and stopped at a nearby house to use the phone and alert authorities.
The two-story, metal-roofed, brick building was a total loss, authorities said. Its roof had collapsed over the sanctuary. It was built in the 1950s and wings were added in the 1970s.
I hope it's accidental rather than arson.
