Fire set at church

I wonder why the Sheriff's Dept is investigating this arson. I will have to ask my brother next time I see him. He is the Under Sheriff.

MISSOULA — The Ravalli County sheriff’s office is investigating an apparent arson fire at the First Baptist Church in Hamilton.

The fire was reported at about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Volunteer firefighters called law enforcement after discovering someone had broken into the building and entered several rooms in the church.

The fire appears to have been set in a pile of books on the floor of a basement room.

Most of the damage to the church was caused by smoke. A damage estimate is not yet available.

My sister said my brother said it was kids. They found candy wrappers all over the place and the kids did a very bad job of playing arsonists.
