UPDATE, 6/26/15 10:14 P.M. (WTXL) - The Tallahassee Fire Department (TFD) responds to an early morning church fire in the 2200 block of St. Marks Street. Crews say a nearby citizen called in the fire about 5:15 a.m. Firefighters were able to put out the blaze within 30 minutes of arrival.
According to TFD spokesperson, no injuries were reported from the scene and the fire resulted in a total loss, estimated at $700,00.
