Fire spreads into classroom at North Highlands church early Monday morning

NORTH HIGHLANDS, Calif. — A North Highlands church caught fire around 2 a.m. Monday morning.

The Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District said crews responded to the 5600 block of Hillsdale Blvd around 2:20 a.m., after neighbors reported the fire. 

The incident started outside the building and then spread inside to a classroom. However, an early response prevented further damage.

“Metro Fire’s Investigation Team is currently on scene and will be conducting a thorough investigation to determine the cause and origin of the fire,” the agency’s spokesperson, Capt. Mark Nunez said.

No one was inside the building when first responders arrived. This is a developing story, and ABC10 will continue to provide updates.
