The fire happened

in the office portion of the church, and that area is completely burned down.

At first

firefighters were responding to calls of people inside. But once they arrived on the scene, they determined there were no people inside.

It took 23 firefighters

from Millington and Shelby County about an hour to put out the fire.

Luckily, there were no injuries.

But Action News 5 was told it was challenging working with the cold temperatures.

The cause of the fire

has not yet been released. However, we will update this story with more information as it comes in.

A Mid-South church is heavily damaged after an early morning fire. St. William Catholic Church in Millington went up in flames just after midnight.
