Multiple units from The Villages Public Safety Department responded to New Covenant United Methodist Church early Tuesday morning after receiving reports of smoke inside the building.
When firefighters arrived at the church, located at 3470 Woodbridge Drive behind the Southern Trace Plaza Shopping Center, they did a quick assessment of the facility and determined that the issue was caused by a belt that had burned up inside an air conditioning unit.
There were no injuries and no damage to the building, which had been housing a men’s prayer breakfast group when the incident was reported just after 7:30 a.m. Members of Community Watch also responded to the church to help with the call.
