Police investigating fire at S.W. Calgary LDS church [Video]

Police say a fire at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in southwest Calgary early on Thursday morning was intentionally set.

Emergency crews responded to the church located at 10923 24 St. S.W. just before 4 a.m. for reports of a fire.

When fire crews arrived on the scene, they did not see any signs of fire but noticed a broken window.

After a key holder for the building arrived, they searched inside and found signs of a small fire that damaged a carpet and created a slight haze.

Fire crews then made sure the blaze was extinguished.

The fire department and the arson unit are investigating the incident.

The Calgary Police Service hate crimes prevention team has been notified about the incident and will work alongside investigators.

Anyone with information about this fire is asked to contact police by calling 403-266-1234.
