HUBBARD, Ohio - A picture posted on the Facebook page of Hubbard's St. Patrick's Church shows the extent of damage done by Monday night's fire.

The blaze started around 5:40 p.m. at the church on North Main Street in Hubbard. 

Hubbard fire officials say the four-alarm fire started in the basement between the kitchen and boiler room in a small storage area.

Investigators tell 21 News there is a lot of smoke damage. They're estimating at least a couple million dollars in damage. 

The altar and floor are buckled along with the adjoining wall. There's also soot covering the whole length of the church.

Officials add there is damage to the chapel area, but the tabernacle was able to be saved. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. 

Department's called out to help battle the flames were from liberty, Brookfield, Vienna, Hermitage, Shenango Township, West Middlesex, Girard, and Coitsville. 

A post on the Eagle Joint Fire District's Facebook page thanked local businesses and the community for supplying water and food.

Hubbard Mayor Ben Kyle reacted to the fire on his Facebook page:

"Tonight our community has suffered a great tragedy; St. Patrick Catholic Church has been devastated by a fire. The fire is out and the investigation into the cause will begin. Thankfully, no one was inside when the fire started. I want to personally thank all of the first responders especially Eagle Joint Fire District & Hubbard City Police Department that helped in Hubbard’s time of need. We appreciate the Fire Departments from all over the Valley that were on the scene to help.
St. Pats is a pillar of our faith and also a pillar of our Hubbard community. As a testament to that, hundreds of people flocked to the scene to lend a hand or say a prayer. I was truly overwhelmed by this outpouring of support. This is the true sense of a community coming together."
