Firefighters worked to put out a second-alarm fire that also caused multiple smaller fires Friday morning at an abandoned church building in north St. Louis.

The St. Louis Fire Department said the call came in around 1 a.m. and that firefighters responded in the area just two days ago to a small brush fire on the same property.

It’s believed that there were items in the church, such as clothes and other combustible things that may have been for donation, that contributed to the severity of the fire. The heat also played a role.

The department noted that no one was injured in the fire, and said one firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion. It took crews two hours to knock out the fire, and at least 60 firefighters were on the scene.

The First Responder Canteen was also on scene to assist in hydrating and cooling the firefighters. The church has not been active for some time.

VIDEO/PHOTOS: The man accused of starting the deadly Chelan Hills wildfire this summer will stay behind bars, for now, on a $1 million bond. The Douglas County sheriff claims 18-year-old Michael Yakimov tossed fireworks out of a truck to spark the blaze, and he believes there are other suspects still missing.

The devastation is still visible from McNeil Canyon Road as families are rebuilding and recovering. The sheriff said that while this wasn’t the largest wildfire in the county’s history, it was the most destructive, and his agency is working to bring those responsible to justice.

Yakimov had few words for a Douglas County Superior Court judge on Thursday, nearly two months after prosecutors claim he started the devastating wildfire that killed one man, forced evacuations, and destroyed 19 homes, vehicles, and utilities.

“It appears that this defendant is hoping nobody would realize who he was or where he was, and he’d be able to fly under the radar, so the state does not have a lot of confidence in his ability to come back to court,” the prosecutor told the judge at Yakimov’s first appearance.
