Fire officials have ruled that the blaze that destroyed a historic church in West Philadelphia on Tuesday, 8/27, was accidental. Workers on the roof of the Greater Bible Way Temple on the 1400 block of North 52nd Street in Parkside were using an open flame when the fire broke out. No one was seriously injured, however, the church sustained significant damage including a collapsed roof. L+I has deemed the structure "imminently dangerous." They are concerned loose debris or tiles could come loose and fall. Unrelated to the fire, there were several violations on the attached rectory which had been converted into a shelter. The church had received zoning approval for housing units, but it did not complete the safety approval. The church vows to rebuild.
