ANN ARUNDEL COUNTY, Md. — A residence owned by Miracle Temple Church caught fire Saturday and left three adult residents displaced.

At around 7:15 p.m., members of the church noticed smoke coming from the house and called 911. Anne Arundel County Firefighters arrived to find heavy smoke conditions and fire in the basement.

Due to the size of the four story home a working fire dispatch and tanker task was requested, county fire said.

All three residents were out prior to the arrival of fire department. They are being assisted by the Red Cross and were members of the church.
