ST. LOUIS — A church near the city-county border in north St. Louis suffered extensive damage after a fire inside a nearby garage spread to the roof Wednesday night.
The fire started at around 7:10 Wednesday night. Captain Garon Mosby with the St. Louis Fire Department said the fire started in a garage in an alley one block north of New St. Douglas Fellowship Baptist Church which is located at 5945 West Florissant.
He said high winds blew the fire onto the church, lighting the roof on fire.
Mosby said the fire burned through the roof and spread to the inside of the building before firefighters could put it out.
Firefighters didn't say what caused the fire or how much damage it caused.
