Massive Fire Destroys New Jersey Church Despite Firefighters' Efforts.

A massive eight-alarm blaze destroyed the Fountain of Life Center, a complex with a large church, a private school, and other buildings in Florence, New Jersey. The fire burned from at least 6 p.m. Monday into Tuesday’s early-morning hours, and more than 50 fire departments, fire companies, and agencies responded to the blaze. The size and design of the church hampered firefighting efforts, and water supply was also a challenge in the rural area without fire hydrants. The cause and origin of the fire were not known, and an investigation is underway by local, county, state, and federal authorities.
