A Wareham church that an Onset firefighter was supposed to be married in, burst into flames hours before the ceremony.
The historic 78-year-old St. Patrick’s Church closed after a three-alarm fire
“When the first company arrived, he had smoke coming from the roof of the building,” Wareham Fire Department Assistant Fire Chief Patrick Haskell said.
As the fire grew, firefighters from other towns responded. Onset firefighter Conrad Fernandes didn’t just have his station calling him -- his fiancee was calling, as well.
