Overview
- The fire began around 12:30 a.m. Thursday at 3Circle Church’s Midtown campus at 150 S. Sage Ave.
- About 50 Mobile Fire-Rescue personnel brought the blaze under control in roughly an hour as roofing materials and smoldering foam complicated the response.
- Investigators concluded an electrical issue inside the sanctuary sparked the blaze, and police are not treating the case as criminal.
- No injuries were reported, and crews with church volunteers have started salvage and cleanup after extensive sanctuary damage.
- 3Circle will hold a special service Sunday at 4 p.m. at Dauphin Way Baptist Church, and leaders say outreach and school donations will continue.
