Crews battle fire at Aurora United Church A spectacular fire has left the Town of Aurora facing a terrible loss yesterday. The historic Aurora United Church went up in flames. Fire crews got the call at about 10:30 a.m. While crews focused on the fire, police closed down a stretch of Yonge Street and evacuated half a dozen homes in the area. The church has stood on the site for more than 135 years, but now much of it is destroyed. Police say a group of pre-schoolers and adults were inside the church before the blaze broke out and were immediately cleared from the building. No one was injured. The church was undergoing roof repairs and this morning while crews were working a fire broke out. The exact cause of the fire is unknown but the flames spread fast and firefighters had a tough time fighting the fire. I was there to take photos but managed to shoot a bit of video from the same camera for a quick little clip.
