From Florida- (video)A Westside church community is picking up the pieces after their Sunday school building went up in flames.
Former Sunday school teacher Rebecca Rodgers saw the damage firsthand Friday morning.
"This place meant so much to me when I was here," said Rodgers.
According to the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, 15 fire trucks were dispatched to Epiphany Episcopal Church in the 5200 block of Harlow Boulevard about 4:30 a.m.
Investigators believe the fire started in the utility room. According to JFRD spokespman Tom Francis, it does not appear to be suspicious, but the cause is still under investigation.
Much of the building was gutted by the fire; the flames left a gaping hole in the roof.
According to Rodgers, the fire is yet another sad chapter in the church's 55-year history after it fell on hard times earlier this year.
