Texas Church Led by Pro-Trump Pastor Catches Fire After Assassination Attempt, Republican Convention

The historic sanctuary of First Baptist Church of Dallas, the church led by Pastor Robert Jeffress, caught fire on Friday night. The cause remains unknown, though the fire comes less than one week after an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, of whom Jeffress has long been an impassioned supporter.

“Dallas Fire-Rescue is currently battling a two-alarm fire in a building located at 1717 San Jacinto Street,” Chief Robert Borse told The Daily Signal. “The initial call was received at 6:05 p.m., and crews arrived on scene at 6:09 p.m.”

“The fire has been knocked down and contained,” Borse said in a 9:46 p.m. update. “The structure has largely collapsed, which has caused many void spaces with ‘hot spots.'”
