Church Saved From Inferno


From California-

Firefighters were the saviors of one church in Temecula today.

St. Thomas of Canterbury Episcopal Church was saved from an inferno that came within a few feet on the property.

The fire started around 3 p.m. on Avenida de Missiones in a brush- and tree-filled field adjacent the church and the Temecula Creek Village condominium complex, according to Cal Fire Capt. Scott Moore.

The fire quickly spread to 2.64 acres in the 100 degree heat, the captain said.

When firefighters arrived, they found about an acre ablaze, with flames stretching 25 feet into the sky, he said.

About 20 firefighters rushed to the scene and kept the fire from the church and a nearby condo complex.
