Fire Destroys $100,000 of Property at Buddhist Temple in Killeen - kcentv.com - KCEN HD - Waco, Temple, and Killeen

(KCEN) -- A small fire in Killeen destroyed hundreds of thousands of dollars in Buddhist worship statues today.

A temporary storage unit at a Buddhist temple caught fire.

Statues and artifacts shipped from Thailand were inside the unit.

Wat Pah Samarkki of Killeen is a small Buddhist community where both monks and nuns live, but the Bell County Fire Marshal says no one was injured in the fire.

About $100,000 dollars of property was destroyed.

Because the temple is a church, ATF was called to the scene.

No word yet on the cause of the fire.
