NEW: Moore church fire considered arson
An early morning fire in Moore has claimed a church, and fire investigators believe the blaze was intentionally set.
Moore Deputy Fire Chief Gary Bird said the Hope Adventist Fellowship Church, 1426 NE 12th Street, is considered a total loss. Firefighters learned about the fire a little before 6 a.m. Tuesday.
"We received the call at 5:36 a.m.," Bird said.
Bird said he didn't know who reported the fire. Twenty-eight firefighters, plus Bird and the fire chief responded to the scene.
"The fire was reported to me as suspicious," he said. "Police have a possible suspect in custody at this time." An early investigation showed there were two different points of origin.
He said police arrested a man at the scene on unrelated charges.
No injuries were reported, Bird said.
