The Alabama State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating a church fire in Centre on Saturday.

Firefighters arrived at St. Mary’s Methodist Church on West Main Street to find a fire on one of the pews and a flag burned on a flag stand.  

The pew was immediately removed from the building with the active timbers being extinguished; the structure suffered minor smoke damage throughout. 

A detailed search of the facility was carried out and no other signs of fire were found.
