And the burning of churches, by leftists/Muslims, across the US starts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-alarm_fire
One-alarm fires, two-alarm fires, three-alarm fires, etc., are categories classifying the seriousness of fires, commonly used in the United States and in Canada,[citation needed] particularly indicating the level of response by local authorities. The term multiple-alarm is a quick way of indicating that a fire is severe and is difficult to contain. This system of classification is used by both fire departments and news agencies.[4]
The most widely used formula for multi-alarm designation is based on the number of units, (for example firetrucks, tankers, rescue vehicles and command vehicles) and firefighters responding to a fire; the more vehicles and firefighters responding, the higher the alarm designation.[4]
In terms of understanding the relative severity of an incident, the government of Rochester, New Hampshire has reported in a statement that a “typical fire in a small structure will usually require only one or two alarms”. In contrast, however, a “large-scale fire in a commercial building would require three alarms or more.”[5]
Is that Bill Jefferies church?
Robert Jeffress. Yes.
I wouldn’t rule that out.
I hope it’ll be ok.
I don’t remember if that building is sprinkled or not but with that large of a fire, it must not be. It’s been too many years since I did a fire alarm inspection on it.
You have a fascinating job. And a vital one!
what is a Bill Jefferies church?
It’s Robert Jeffress.
That’ll teach Rev. Jeffress to support Trump.
It’s going to be a long four months.
The building burning tonight the original church still used by the church apparently but not for worship services they moved to a new location in 2013.
That’s good news. Horrid news that it’s burning, but good that it’s not going to impact worship services.
I always hate to see older building destroyed by any means.
Holy smoke!
It's been used for weekly worship services since shortly after the new building was completed. Some of the pews were removed and the remained spaced out, but it has been in use since that renovation for a contemporary morning service at 11 Central with a praise band. The larger, modern new sanctuary is used for the traditional service with a choir and orchestra (9:15 and 11).
Last I heard, the didn't know if they would be able to use the new sanctuary this Sunday because of smoke in the air conditioning system.
Lost battle.
Robert Jeffress and I hate to hear that. I saw pics and it doesn’t look good.
