No injuries reported after a two-alarm fire at a Pittsburg church

Pittsburg, California – According to authorities from the fire department, firefighters from Pittsburg responded early on Friday morning to a two-alarm fire that was raging through a church.

The Pentecostals of the Bay Area church on Central Avenue, next to Railroad Avenue, was the location of the fire that broke out at 2:45 in the morning.

Fire officials said that a portion of the roof of the church, which is more than half a century old, fell while fire crews were trying to extinguish the fire. Because of the collapse, the firefighters had to go back to a defensive position.
