(Steelton) — Police say a fire that destroyed a Dauphin County church on Good Friday was no accident.
Steelton police on Saturday posted a notice seeking information from the public on what they call “a non-accidental fire” in a vacant house next to Bible Fellowship Christian Church shortly after 5 p.m. Friday.
Authorities said the flames quickly spread to the church.
Officials said the congregation hasn’t been inside the building since the start of the coronavirus epidemic.
Damage to the vacant building and the church was estimated to total $100,000.
PennLive.com reported that the church has been in the community for about 100 years.
