Local Church Daycare Damaged in Fire

CHANDLER — A Chandler church and connecting daycare has been damaged in a fire Sunday afternoon. According to KETK, Dixie and Chandler fire departments, along with other agencies, were called out to a fire at the First Assembly of God Church on North Broad Street around 11:30. The pastor of the church, Mark Fulks, said the fire started inside the Love and Learn Daycare, and says a broken gas line in the building is to blame. The line, which was attached to a furnace, was ignited by a hot water heater. No one was inside and no injuries were reported.

Pastor Fulks is asking for prayers from the community and wants people who use the daycare to know that they are still operational. Parents can drop their kids off at the north part of the church, and the kids will use another part of the church while repairs are done on the fire damage.
