A neighbor across the street called and told us there was an explosion and fire. We rushed out, but by the time we went outside, the fire was out already. Our electrical wiring is quite old, so the wind and rain might be what started the fire
Firefighters suspect the explosion and brief fire was caused by a short-circuit in a high-voltage wire outside the fourth floor. Fortunately, the building was not affected and nobody was injured. But the electrical fire did cause a power outage at the church, which will have to wait until Tropical Storm Fung-wong passes before repairs can commence.

澎湖長老教會屋頂驚傳爆炸 警消初判"高壓電線短路"
2025-11-12
週三下午一點多，澎湖馬公一間長老教會屋頂突然傳出爆炸聲，民眾甚至拍下當時還伴隨火花的畫面，好在未釀成明顯火勢。

“對面的鄰居打電話來，跟我們說好像有爆炸起火這樣，我們趕快出來看，其實我們走出來的時候，火已經熄了。應該是就是我們的電線比較老舊，所以在風雨…可能滲水然後就引發起火。”
警消初步了解應該是四樓外的高壓電線短路，才會造成瞬間爆炸起火的情形，所幸教會主建築並未受到影響，也沒有人員傷亡，但颱風天的這場電線走火事件，也導致教會停電，必須等到颱風過後才能找人維修，恢復正常運作。
