DALLAS – Heartbreak and grief continue for a Dallas church congregation after a massive fire destroyed their historic sanctuary late Friday.The sight of devastation and the smell of smoke remained outside First Baptist Dallas one day after a four-alarm fire tore through the original sanctuary. Dallas Fire-Rescue continued monitoring hot spots on Saturday. No injuries were reported. The sound of fire engines and the sight of stunned onlookers filled the heart of downtown Dallas Saturday morning.
'Just heartbreak, it's really heartbreak for the loss for the place of the memories, the beautiful moments we had, and the reverence we had in there,' McCoy said. The sanctuary was built in 1890, and the church used it to worship until it moved into the new building in 2013.'Really, what a loss, but at the same time, I have mixed emotions that no one was hurt and that the church is still intact because the church is the people,' McCoy said.
