| One could say the fire in Detroit is literally too close for comfort for those at Messiah Covenant Church, which is situated just yards away from the fire that continues to defy the efforts of local firefighters to extinguish the flames. In this view of one of the classrooms, taken during a June fire in another nearby building, one can see the somewhat obscured image of the flames showing through the plastic liner erected to try and keep smoke out of the church building. |  |
