Plover church destroyed by fire

PLOVER, Wis. (AP) -- Officials say a Plover church is a total loss following a fire.

Authorities say no one was inside the Springs United Methodist Church when the fire broke out Monday. Fire officials say the blaze apparently started in the attic.

Members of the congregation say the church recently celebrated more than 150 years of service in the community. Church member Beverly West tells WSAW-TV there are families who are second, third or even fourth generation members.
