(New York, NY) – One person is dead and another is injured following a three-alarm fire raging through a Bronx Buddhist temple in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The blaze broke out around 6 a.m. in the Tremont section. The FDNY says firefighting efforts were hampered thanks to a parked car blocking the closest fire hydrant.
