WEST ORANGE, New Jersey (WABC)
A three-alarm fire burned through a nearly 200-year-old church in West Orange Friday morning.
The fire broke out in St. Mark's Episcopal Church on Main Street just after 5 a.m.
Firefighters from South Orange, Orange, East Orange, Maplewood and Millburn joined West Orange crews to tackle the massive blaze that took just minutes to start.
"The fire progressed very fast. It was an old church, heavy old timber in the roof (is) dry and old," said Deputy Chief Albert Souza, of the West Orange Fire Department. "There were decorations and drapery that added to the fire."
