Historic Church Burns In New Jersey

Firefighters are battling a blaze at an historic church in Hainesport, Burlington County. It broke out at 3:15 a.m. Tuesday at Easton Bible Church in the 2400 block of Fostertown Road. The associate pastor told Action News he was up late because he couldn’t sleep, heard noises, and then discovered the blaze in a building next to where he and his family live. Firefighters arrived to find heavy fire coming from the structure. A second alarm was sounded almost immediately. Crews brought in tanker trucks filled with water to help fight the blaze. Three hours later, the fire had not yet been put under control.
