-- Firefighters from all over the western suburbs raced to Maywood Monday afternoon as flames shot through the roof of a church.
For nearly three decades, the New Life in Christ Bible Church has served a community in Maywood. On Monday, its building at 1642 15th Ave. at Harrison Street was destroyed.Maywood Fire Chief Craig Bronaugh Jr. said just after 3:15 p.m., the fire department got multiple calls from people who saw smoke coming from the rear of the building.
There were worries about the building collapsing, such that police officers evacuated one home to the north, and another to the west."There was really no words for it," Patterson said."I mean, this church has been here for a long time." Just last year, the church raised enough money to repair and fix the roof. On Monday afternoon, the new roof collapsed in the fire – with the charred shingles left covering the pulpit.
