Fire causes significant damage to Lincoln church

lincoln-fire-departmentLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Officials say an early morning three-alarm fire caused significant damage to a church in Lincoln.

The fire was reported about 2 a.m. Monday at Belmont Baptist Church.

Lincoln Battalion Chief Jeremy Gegg says it took crews about 45 minutes to control the fire. He says the fire caused significant damage and part of the roof collapsed, but a fire door inside the building kept flames contained to one area.

There were no injuries.
