| [WKYC] 3News has confirmed a fire has broken out at the historic St. Theodosius Orthodox Cathedral in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood. The Association of Cleveland Fire Fighters IAFF Local 93 posted about the incident on X (formerly Twitter) Tuesday afternoon, stating that the blaze began around 4:30 p.m. Officials reported that the fire was near Starkweather Avenue and Professor Street, with the only church in that area being St. Theodosius. 3News cameras have since spotted smoke pouring from the 112-year-old building. At this time, authorities say there are no reports of injuries, but firefighters on scene requested backup battling the flames. Part of the Russian Orthodox faith, St. Theodosius was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the same year it was similarly designated a Cleveland landmark. It also gained fame for its role in the Oscar-winning film "The Deer Hunter," serving as the location for the wedding between John Savage and Rutanya Alda's characters. This is a breaking news story and will be updated. |
