Central Church Fire

By  | 

From the Central Fire Department

    At 11:54 pm. the Central Fire Department was dispatched to a wreck at the intersection of Blackwater and Comite Dr.  While in route we got updated information from 911 that the truck had hit a church and the truck and church were on fire. Upon our arrival we found a truck that had left the roadway went through a fenced playground and came to rest inside a building that was directly behind the church. We also had a live power line down on the ground.  The truck and building were on fire.  Fire crews made a good stop on the fire and the main church building is ok. The young driver was able to escape without injury.  No firefighter injuries. District 6 assisted as manpower and Baker was our RIC crew.
