The Casa Grande community is reeling from a devastating overnight fire at St. Anthony of Padua Church, deeply considered a cornerstone of the town.
The Casa Grande community is stunned after an overnight fire burned through St. Anthony of Padua Church. Members call it the bedrock of the community. Casa Grande Fire says the fire started near the electronic and music amplification area and spread to the pews. The damage is so extensive that no one is allowed in until it gets cleared by structural engineers. The cause of the fire is still unknown."I just had to come and see, it just breaks my heart," said one parishioner, Jean.
"You don’t go anywhere here where someone can’t tell that they’ve been to a couple weddings here," said Casa Grande Fire Chief Dave Kean. "They’ve been to a couple funerals here. They’ve been to baptisms, all kinds of stuff here." Kean says the fire started shortly after midnight, but not much else was known. "There’s very significant damage," he said.
