Please send any additions or corrections to cultxpt@primenet.com I'm looking for information concerning fires in Scientology buildings, especially around the times that the church was planning a move. So far I've heard of several such fires:
1) The above photo is from S Street in Washington DC. The church was planning its move to the Frasier Mansion just a few blocks away. Before the move was completed this fire occurred.
2) a small fire here in Phoenix Arizona around 1991. A sign was placed on the building that said something like "we've had a bit of a fire and will open again later." This building was never again used by the church and is now a rental property.
3) a fire in England.
4) a fire in Toronto Canada in January of 1978, allegedly caused by a copy machine.
5) a fire in the Gray Moss Inn in Clearwater Florida in the 80's (the church bought the Gray Moss Inn).
6) an arson in Pasadena California in 1980.
7) an arson in Costa Mesa California in 1987.
8) a fire in Hacienda Gardens in Clearwater Florida in 1986.
9) February 10, 1998 it was announced on alt.religion.scientology that Munich Germany Scientology buildings were raided by the police in search of information regarding suspicious fires related to the Church of Scientology.
