Large fire destroys church in Chester County, South Carolina

Investigators are looking into what caused a massive fire Thursday night that destroyed a church in Chester County, South Carolina.

Firefighters say gusty winds fueled the fire at Mt. Zion A.M.E. Zion Church on Canal Road, off Highway 21.

Part of the building’s roof and walls collapsed in the blaze. The church pastor tells WBTV the congregation hopes to rebuild. No injuries were reported.
