An early morning extra alarm fire caused heavy damage to the downtown Holy Name Cathedral. Besides damage from fire and smoke, there was heavy water damage and according to Cardinal Francis George the roof will need to be rebuilt. While the cause of the fire is still unknown, early speculation is that it may be related to current renovations. The fire broke out around 5:30 a.m. this morning but was out by 8 a.m. The current church was completed in 1874, replacing the original church that burned down in the Great Fire of 1871.

Does Ald. Dixon have to travel through this area? If so they better move all of the police and fire vehicles blocking her way. How dare they close a downtown street during the morning rush. She is an alderman.
