It’s bad, got off the train a block away an hour ago and it was already bad. 86 OMC, glad school was out by then at least

For real, glad everyone’s ok but it’s sad to see that beautiful old stone building burn.

Holy shit, that’s my old church. I went to CCD in the building.

I was wondering what all of the helicopters were doing around the wiss, this answers that. Glad it was after hours but how sad!!

Saving you the click: The fire started at Our Mother of Consolation School on Chestnut Hill and Germantown avenues around 4 p.m.

Unbelievable how quickly it spread, and so glad that no one was in the building. I have a friend who works there, and she is just shaken.

i have a family member that was there. There was still about 30 kids iin the building for after care. they were thankfully outside at the time the fire started because it was a nice day.

Okay, wait. Literally two days ago, there was a massive 8 alarm fire over in New Jersey, at a Catholic church with a school attached. And twenty-four hours later there's a massive fire at a Catholic school in Philly?

This school is in an affluent area. As a Catholic I doubt the church need to set this one on fire for insurance money

I would assume Catholics are gonna have candles or some sort of open flame burning which would make fires more common
