One firefighter and two civilians were treated for heat exhaustion after a fire broke out at a church in Stapleton last night.

Fire officials say the flames broke out around 10 p.m. at the Celestial Church of Christ on Canal Street.

Emmanuel Balougen, the church's pastor, said the church was closed when the fire broke out, but two people live in the building.

The fire was brought under control just before midnight.
