CAMBRIDGE, Md. (AP) - Officials say a fire has heavily damaged a church rectory in Cambridge.

The State Fire Marshal's Office says the fire was reported Monday morning at St. Mary Refuge of Sinners Catholic Church on Glasgow Street.

Some 60 firefighters battled the blaze. The building was not occupied when the fire broke out and no one was hurt.

The Easton Star-Democrat reports that the fire caused an estimated $350,000 in damage to the rectory.

The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
