BUTTE - The Butte Fire Department is investigating what it s calling a suspicious fire at a Butte church Friday morning.
Firefighters responded to the Gold Hill Lutheran Church on Placer Street just after 7 a.m. and found a small fire burning in a basement pre-school room at the church. The fire was quickly extinguished, and investigators are calling it suspicious.
âNo electricity was running to the part of the room, I have a good burn pattern, a good burn spot on the floor, so interviews are happening as we speak with police department, we re searching cameras,â said Butte Fire Marshal Zach Osborne.
