A fire that damaged Victory Life Bible Church in Foothill Farms early Monday was under investigation, according to the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District.<\/p>\n

Fire crews were dispatched at 2:21 a.m. to the church on the 5600 block of Hillsdale Boulevard, Sacramento Metro Fire Capt. Mark Nunez said.<\/p>\n

Crews arrived to find flames on the exterior of the building that had spread into a classroom, Nunez said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirefighters quickly deployed hose lines and were able to contain the fire to the front portion of the building while simultaneously conducting a primary search to ensure no occupants or victims were inside the structure,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Firefighters contained the blaze to the front portion of the church. No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire remained under investigation by Metro Fire\u2019s investigation team, Nunez said.<\/p>\n

\u201cA reminder to our community that fires can double in size every minute,\u201d he said. \u201cIf a fire starts, get out immediately, stay out, and call 911 from a safe location. Never go back inside a burning structure.\u201d<\/p>\n
