CHICAGO (AP) – The Chicago Fire Department says a fire that roared through a prominent church on Chicago’s South Side was sparked by a propane torch on the building’s roof. The department said on Twitter Saturday that “the CFD Office of Fire Investigation has determined the fire at Antioch Church to be accidental and caused by work being done on the building roof using a propane torch.” The multiple-alarm fire blaze at the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church began after 2 p.m., Friday an hour after Good Friday services ended and wasn’t brought under control for 90 minutes.
