The New York Fire Department worked to put out a five-alarm fire at Our Lady of the Rosary Pompeii Church in Brooklyn during the afternoon on Easter Sunday.
A five-alarm fire interrupted Easter services at a Catholic Church in Brooklyn on Sunday, prompting a massive response from the New York Fire Department. The fire broke out at Our Lady of the Rosary Pompeii on Seigel Street in Bushwick just before 2 p.m. Video posted on X showed the flames shooting out of the church. At least six people were being treated for injuries sustained in the fire, the FDNY posted on X.
People get very connected to their parish, so when you see a fire rip through the parish center and the rectory, you know those people that were in the mass that got out safely… They’re not going to have the joy of Easter fully today because they are mourning what has happened to their own church,' Brooklyn Diocesan spokesperson, John Qualione told PIX 11 News.
