Faulty wiring sparked church fire

STRAWBERRY MANSION - May 9, 2008 The April 30 fire destroyed the four-story building that was constructed as a school and later converted to be the home of the Prince of Peace Baptist Church.

The pastor has said he plans to rebuild on the same site, but that could take up to two years. The congregation gathered Sunday in a tent nearby, the kind often used for weddings, and plans to meet this Sunday in another church a few blocks away.

The Fire Department announced the cause of the fire on Friday.
