A Chicago firefighter was hurt battling this fire at a church in the West Englewood neighborhood.
A decades-old church that has spent generations in West Englewood is now just mounds of burned debris after a devastating fire tore through the church Saturday morning.
The fire quickly tore through the Universal Temple of Christ and Training School on Damen and 56th Street in West Englewood."Something exploded, and it came almost toward the window," said neighbor Ineliz Bermudez. While Chicago fire officials say the cause of the fire is still under investigation, Pastor Bell said she believes this was an intentionally ignited inferno, happening just as the church was planning to expand.
