Fire investigators in Montgomery County are trying to figure out what started a fire at one of the oldest churches on the Main Line.
Officials at the Episcopal Church of The Redeemer in Bryn Mawr are crediting firefighters for getting to the scene quickly before the fire caused more damage to the 143-year-old church.Coincidentally, when the fire alarm call came in around 8:30 Monday night, nearly every member of the fire department was at the station finishing up a weekly meeting and having a chicken soup dinner.16 firefighters were on scene in less than three minutes.
It took crews from seven area fire departments and two hours to help the church, designed in Gothic revival style, from sustaining major damage."They did such a great job. They worked really professionally. They were really smart and really attentive to the special needs of a church," said Joshua Castaño, Parish Administrator for the church.
