Candle Is To Blame For Friend Church Fire


The Lincoln Journal Star is reporting that a candle is to blame for the Dec. 4 fire that destroyed the United Methodist Church of Friend. 

Rev. Paixao Baptista declined comment, saying he was waiting for the written report from the state Fire Marshal's Office. Baptista said he did not know whether the church was a partial or total loss because the insurance company has not completed its investigation.

The church had just finished a $100,000 remodeling project. Firefighters from Friend, Dorchester, Exeter and Crete battled the blaze for about three hours.

  3. No agenda. What's yours? Just stating a fact.

  4. Who left the candle burning? That is the question.

    Sad to see that in Friend.
