Sad Day for Moapa Valley!
The following came from the Las Vegas Review Journal:
A Mormon church in Logandale was destroyed by fire early today. No one was in the building around 4:10 a.m. when volunteer firefighters were alerted to heavy smoke and fire coming from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 3245 N. Moapa Valley Blvd., Clark County Fire Department spokesman Scott Allison said.
The smoke and fire were so thick that crews could only battle the blaze from outside the building, he said. No injuries were reported.
A side office building containing the bishop's offices and church records were not harmed in the fire, he said.
Allison said the Mormon church was one of the oldest buildings in the town, about 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas. It was built by the community in 1951.
It's really sad to think of the valley's pioneers who spent their time there making bricks and putting the building up. There is a lot of history in that building.
