Fire races through popular church in Old Town

It was a tough day after Christmas for members of an Old Town church Monday.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Fire caused at least $500,000 in damage to the contents of an Old Town church Monday, fire officials said.

The blaze, which was extinguished in 20 minutes, was reported about 8:25 a.m. at the Old Town Community Church on the corner of Conde and Congress streets. People could see flames coming from the building, a San Diego Fire-Rescue dispatcher said.

Property damage could be higher than the initial estimate, the dispatcher said.

Crews extinguished the fire by 8:45 a.m. and there were no reported injuries.

The cause was still under investigation.
