Pomona Church Destroyed by Fire, Community Rallies to Replace Burned Toys

Despite the loss of over 500 toys in the blaze, the Victory Outreach Church and local community plan to proceed with the scheduled toy giveaway.

Victory Outreach Church in Pomona, California was destroyed by a fire early Sunday morning, burning over 500 toys that were set to be given away later in the day.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department sent 100 firefighters to combat the blaze, which started around 2 a.m. and burned so fiercely that firefighters had to retreat.
No injuries were reported from the fire, and the cause remains under investigation.
Following the fire, members of the community and the LA County Fire Department rallied to replace the lost toys, with two trucks' worth of toys planned to be dispatched to the church by 5 p.m.
Despite the loss of the building and the original toys, the church still plans to hold its toy giveaway for over 600 registered families.
