At the time of writing, the blaze has been extinguished, with authorities revealing that they expect to find more victims inside the ruins of the church.

Chief Reyne added that law enforcement officers responded to the scene within 30 seconds of receiving the first 911 call. He also acknowledged that there were “multiple victims,” but his department did not have their names.
