DFR crews battling a 4-alarm fire at the Saintsville Church of God on Marsalis Ave in the Oak Cliff

DFR crews battling a 4-alarm fire at the Saintsville Church of God on Marsalis Ave in the Oak Cliff neighbourhood, Dallas, Texas.

It became a 6-alarm fire partly because of the intense flames but also because of the heat.

When the outside temperatures reach above 100 degrees, more units are called out so firefighters can rotate more often. Dallas Fire-Rescue says no injuries have been reported. 

The historic church sits on was purchased in 1973. It stems from two churches in Dallas, the Wheatley Church of God in Christ and Haynes Chapel Church of God In Christ were founded in the early 1900s.
