The morning of February 15, 1999, dawned as a beautiful winter morning in north-central Texas. The skies were clear, and the temperature climbed into the mid-60s by noon in the small city of Lake Worth, Texas. Two career Ft. Worth, Texas, firefighters were off-duty that day. Both volunteered for the River Oaks Volunteer Fire Department. Across town, another volunteer firefighter from Samson Park was also starting his day. Before noon, these three would make the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of their duties to their respective cities; four others would be injured, and the communities in the area would be torn apart.
珍贵的信仰寺庙教堂建于三个部分。第一部分建于20世纪60年代，用作酒吧。它建于地面水平，并具有用于屋顶组件的预制木桁架的混凝土砌块墙施工。教堂的这一部分是前面有一块砖头的唯一部分。第二部分建于1978年至1979年。它也被混凝土块的外部构造;它在第一部分水平以下两英尺。墙壁填充有砂，以充当绝缘，并没有任何增强部件。它们是承载墙（在它们中没有窗户或门开口）。外面唯一的开口是三门：前门，建筑物B侧的第二扇门，D侧的第三扇门。 Inside the sanctuary was a three-foot decorative wall around the pulpit area for the choir. The roof assembly was made of scissor trusses, giving the sanctuary the look and feel of a bigger room. This roof assembly was attached to the first set of roof trusses (photo 1).
A fellowship hall was added in 1981. This structure was on the same level as the sanctuary and was again made with the same concrete block walls. The roof in this area was of truss design and attached to the rest of the structure. At the rear of the sanctuary and at the end of the fellowship hall, the gables were covered with wood siding. There were openings in the attic area to allow the utilities and the heating and air-conditioning ducts to service all areas of the church. The church was constructed by the membership; the pastor said all codes and ordinances were adhered to at the time of construction.
