Heavy fire damages Concord church building

A two-alarm fire damaged church property in Concord early Thursday morning, a Contra Costa County Fire Protection District official said.

The blaze was reported at 5:32 a.m. at Christ Community Church of the Nazarene at 1650 Ashbury Drive, located near Clayton Road and Galindo Street.

The first arriving crews found heavy flames coming from a two-story building and fought the fire defensively, eventually extinguishing it by about 6:15 a.m. and saving an adjoining one-story building from burning, Assistant Fire Chief Jeff Peter said.

No injuries were reported as a result of the fire, and its cause remains under investigation, Peter said.
