During a morning Thunder Storm in Southern Prince George's County, units were alerted for a roof collapse with a broken gas line @ 4949 Allentown Road at the From the Heart Ministries Church.
E271 and Rescue Squad 27 quickly arrived on scene to find a large section of roof collapse into the building. Units assisted with the evacuation and monitored the building while a roof unit hung in the balance. The heavy amounts of rain in a short period is believed to be the cause of the collapse.
No civilian injuries were reported, however the building suffered serious damage.
Engine and Squad cleared in about 2 hours.
