Extensive fire damage, estimated at $75,000, resulted from a fire which was accidentally started in the attic of Blessed Sacrament Church in Park Hill by roofers using blowtorches Aug. 14. The church, located at 4900 E. Montview Ave., was empty when the fire broke out and no one was injured. According to Msgr. William Jones, the parish pastor, Masses will be held in the nearby school gymnasium until repairs are made. The blaze broke out about 2 p.m. while workers were repairing the roof.
