From New Brunswick-

Fire destroyed an historic Anglican church over the weekend. Built in 1926, the combined St. John's Anglican and St. Paul's United Church on Rue de l’Eglise was listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places.

The fire was called in to the Edmundston Fire Department at approximately 3:45 a.m. EST Saturday, Sept. 20, according to Edmundston North Fire Station Chief Rino Francoeur.

Approximately 35 firefighters responded, according to Francoeur. By Saturday afternoon, the fire was extinguished; however, the building was already a complete loss upon arrival of the fire department, according to the chief.
