Fire Destroys Classroom, Office Building At Cantonment Church
December 30, 2010
Fire destroyed a building at a Cantonment church early Thursday morning.
The J.E. Kyser Hall at the Pine Forest Assembly of God Church on Pine Forest road at Copper Ridge Road was a total loss. The building, located in the middle of the church campus, contained classrooms and offices. The nearby J.W. Sowell Building, which contains the church children’s and youth hall, sustained minor smoke damage.
The main church sanctuary was not involved.
The cause of the fire, which was reported just after 1 a.m., is still under investigation by the State Fire Marshal’s Office. Damage is estimated at about a half million dollars.
There were no injuries reported.
The church will hold services at 10 a.m. instead of 10:30 a.m. this Sunday, and there will be no Sunday school classes.

We love you all! Wish we could be there to help. God IS good, and will be there to help through the ashes.
Great job by the fire depts in containing the fire and protecting other buildings! Thank God it was the middle of the night and not the middle of a church service.
Things are things. No one was injured. Not even the brave firemen. This is when you have to look for the positive out of the ashes. I love you all, Gene, Cindy, Heather and Joshua.
Maybe this is a way for God to help you build bigger, better and with more people. Maybe it will bring attention and love and more people to God!
God is still God and is in complete control of this situation!! Just so thankful that no one was injured or killed. It will be exciting to see what God has in store for the Pine Forest Family.
