A power surge caused a moderate smoke outbreak at Dallas Bay Baptist Church tonight.
According to Hamilton County Emergency Services, a church alarm system detected smoke at about 8 p.m. A call to emergency dispatchers prompted the Dallas Bay Volunteer Fire Department to investigate the church.
Dallas Bay firefighters found moderate smoke in the church’s youth building and main entrance before calling the Soddy-Daisy Fire Department for more manpower, officials said.
Both teams conducted an extensive search for fire in both buildings and fanned the area for eventual ventilation. No injuries were reported.
The power surge occurred around the Hixson Pike and Dalton Lane area, authorities said.
