Got the call about 9 pm the 28th, Old military rd, at the church flames and smoke showing. When I got there I was ahead of the Engine. The roof and front of the church were in flames and the fire was licking the power lines in fron tof the building. The church building had been abandoned for sometime so more than likely it was a set job. When the Engine arrived on scene the guys went to work. When we left there an hour and a half later the church building and the trailer next to it were gone. I will miss seeing that building as i drive down that road. It was one of the best fires that Marion has had so we used it as a training aid for the rookies on our department.
