Staten Island church burns in accidental blaze
A 19th century Brighton Heights Reformed Church in Staten Island was gutted when workers used an electric heat gun to loosen paint. Fire officials said the heat triggered flames that spread through the walls to the steeple, destroying the roof and leaving the historic church homeless. The Rev. Terry Troia noted the church’s long service to the poor and homeless has ended as a result.
