TFD Responds to Structure Fire

October 26, 2021

Today, Oct. 26, at 6:52 a.m., the Tallahassee Fire Department (TFD) was dispatched to the 2800 block of Unity Lane for a structure fire. Crews found a fully involved church upon arrival and took a defensive posture due to the large volume of the fire in the structure.

No injuries were reported. The structure was a total loss. The cause of the fire is under investigation at this time and is a joint effort of the Tallahassee Fire Department and the State Fire Marshal's Office.

TFD was assisted on scene by the Leon County Sheriff's Office and Leon County EMS.
