A fire broke out July 27 at New City Church of the Nazarene in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The preliminary investigation indicates that the fire most likely started in an electrical device.

No one was hurt in the fire, which started in the church's second story office area. Clean up is underway as the church, pastored by Zhu Shanshan and his wife, Esther, comes together to salvage what they can and begin making repairs.

Office equipment was badly damaged and the second floor sustained significant smoke damage. Water from the sprinkler system, while extinguishing the fire, caused significant water damage to much of the building and its contents.
