Two Firefighters Injured in Two-Alarm Church Fire Houston

A devastating early morning fire destroyed the Christ Church Apostolic in southeast Houston, injuring two firefighters who suffered a broken ankle and a fractured femur while battling the blaze. The fire, which started near 6 a.m., prompted a large response from the Houston Fire Department, with over 100 firefighters working to extinguish the flames and control hotspots. The building had recently undergone roof repairs and was also undergoing renovations at the time of the fire. Authorities, including arson investigators and the ATF, are investigating the cause of the fire due to the building's religious significance. The injured firefighters are expected to recover, though the injuries are serious. The local community remains hopeful despite the loss of their place of worship. Meanwhile, a separate fire incident occurred at Cannan Baptist Church in Columbus, Mississippi, but caused no reported injuries and is under further investigation.
