An inferno tore through a Buddhist temple complex in the Bronx early Wednesday morning, killing a monk and a visitor as Big Apple firefighters struggled to access a fire hydrant for the second time in a week.

Two people have died, and a Buddhist temple has been destroyed after a massive fire broke out in the Bronx on Wednesday, the FDNY said.

A raging Bronx fire left two men dead Wednesday morning and heavily damaged a Buddhist temple next door, FDNY officials said. For the second time this week, a parked vehicle was blocking the hydrant closest to the fatal blaze.
