"CARNEGIE, Pa. —
Flames were seen shooting from the roof of Carnegie United Methodist Church on Friday afternoon.

"The fire at the 120-year-old church on Washington Avenue began around noontime.

"Roofers were working at the time, but torches were not being used.

"SLIDESHOW: Photos of the fire

"No injuries were reported as firefighters doused the blaze.

'"It's all empty space up there, and if it gets up in the rafters, it can be trouble. But we stopped it short of that," Crafton Fire Chief Mike Crown said.

"The cause of the fire has not been determined yet." ~ WTAE, Pittsburg's Action News 4, June 22, 2012
