Located on East Fort Lowell Road, the church is home to Tucson's annual Greek Festival. Fire crews responded around 12:15 a.m. There was heavy smoke but no visible flame. As a precaution, one firefighter was transported to the hospital for showing signs of dehydration while battling the smoke.

A property manager has estimated damage inside the church to be worth $1 million. The building has been condemned.
