Sep. 10—The Bellingham Fire Department battled a two-alarm blaze at a church early Friday on Cornwall Avenue in the Sunnyland neighborhood.
Crews were called to the 2500 block of Cornwall Avenue at 4:25 a.m. for a commercial fire, according to the PulsePoint app.
"First arriving crews found heavy fire with fire through the roof," a Bellingham Fire Department tweet at 5:15 a.m. read.
An earlier tweet said traffic in the area was impacted and asked people to avoid the area.
A follow up tweet at 5:39 a.m. said that there were no injuries and investigators were on the scene.
"Crews have a good knockdown," the tweet read.
According to the St. John's Lutheran Church Facebook page, that church at least previously occupied the building that burned.
The Bellingham Herald has reached out to the department for more details on the fire.
