VIDEO: Many community members are devastated after a fire at a historic church. Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church is a shell of what it was just earlier in the day and what its looked like since the 1800s. History was damaged in the fire, a fact not lost on the people of Milwaukee. "It is a loss for this city. It is a huge loss." Jesse Marshall attended Mother's Day services at the church just a few days prior. "I'm just so shocked right now. It's a small congregation. Everybody loves each other, everyone's on top of each other. We talk and pray together. It's a family," said Marshall. The one-alarm fire quickly turned to three and four with nearly 100 firefighters at one point working to save what they could.
