(AP) – Fire officials are asking for information from the public in the investigation of a fire at a west Wichita mosque.
Wichita Fire Capt. Stuart Bevis says federal and city fire investigators still have not determined what caused the fire on Halloween morning at the Islamic Association of Mid Kansas mosque.
The Wichita Eagle reports that Bevis says investigators are asking anyone who might have been near the mosque that morning to contact them.
The fire caused an estimated $130,000 in damage. No one was injured. Bevis says the investigation into the cause has been hampered because the damage was so extensive.
He says investigators from Wichita, The FBI and the ATF are awaiting analysis of different types of evidence from the ATF national laboratories.
