POTTSTOWN, Pa. (KYW Newsradio) — Flames ripped through an abandoned church in Pottstown, Montgomery County, early Friday morning. Some neighbors had to be evacuated.
The fire broke out after 6 a.m. at the former home of Invictus Ministries, located at Hanover and Chestnut streets.

Neighbors said this was one of the oldest churches in Pottstown, and it closed about two years ago.
