Huge blaze engulfs Serbian Orthodox Church in Manhattan on Easter Sunday (VIDEO) A huge fire has engulfed a Serbian Orthodox Church in downtown Manhattan, on the day that Orthodox Christians are celebrating the Holy Easter. More than 170 firefighters from the New York City Fire Department are battling the blaze, which has been upgraded to a four-alarm incident. While initial reports suggested that there might have been people trapped inside the burning building, fire crews working on site confirmed there were no injuries or casualties. "We're all alive, but the building is gone," the parish priest, Fr. Djokan, told RT. Firefighters are trying to contain the blaze that started at around 7:00pm local time. Social Media footage emerging from the scene of the accident on West 25th Street in Manhattan shows an inferno swallowing the Serbian Orthodox Cathedral of St. Sava, a historic church located at 15 West 25th Street between Broadway and the Avenue of the Americas in the NoMad neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. Additionally, the NYPD has reportedly requested a Level 1 Mobilization at the scene of the fire for crowd control. Some unconfirmed reports suggest that people may be trapped inside. https://www.rt.com/usa/341569-manhattan-orthodox-church-fire/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "serbia" group.
