From the flames of ruin comes hope as the Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue District returns a valuable item to Christ at the Crossroads Church.

In the aftermath of the devastating fire that engulfed the Lehigh Acres church late Sunday, Lt. Bisgounis recovered and exited the building carrying the American flag that had stood in the sanctuary.

According to fire control and rescue, the flag was soaked from the water used to extinguish the blaze but was undamaged.

The station cleaned and inspected the flag before returning it to the church to symbolize endurance.
