Fire damages parish hall at downtown Springfield church

From Missouri-

What authorities believe started as a fire in a nearby dumpster damaged an addition to one of downtown Springfield’s longest-standing landmarks Friday.

The parish hall at Christ Episcopal Church at Walnut and Kimbrough sustained some damage to its exterior walls.

The parish hall is the addition, built in 2007, and not part of the historic structure.

“Fire started in the dumpster and it spread to a storage shed and that storage shed was destroyed. Then it also destroyed some of our privacy fencing at the rear of the church,” said Pastor Ken Chumbley.
