Furnace malfunction causes Solid Rock Church evacuation

A furnace malfunction caused the evacuation of a Cole County church Wednesday night.

Firefighters were called to Solid Rock Church on Hunters Run Road around 8:05 p.m., according to Regional West Fire Protection District reports

The initial call was for a structure fire. While smoke was found throughout the building, firefighters were unable to find a heat source.

Eventually they determined the motor on one of the facilities furnaces was causing the problem.

No injuries were reported.
