LOS ANGELES, Calif. — A historic church went up in flames in South Los Angeles today and two firefighters who were temporarily trapped in the building were taken to a hospital to be checked out.
The fire at Crouch Memorial Church of God in Christ, built in 1895 and 1896 at 1001 E. 27th St., caught fire in the attic about 9:30 a.m., and the flames quickly spread through the Romanesque Revival structure.
Within a short time, the roof of the building collapsed, and firefighters were ordered outside to battle the flames from the exterior and keep them from spreading to other buildings.
