Search for church fire cause continues

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Fire investigators continue to look for the cause of a fire that destroyed a church at 134 E. Sherman last week.

The fire destroyed Foundation of Life Ministries church in Hutchinson. Hutchinson Fire Investigator Tony Arpin says they’re still looking for what may have happened to cause the fire.

Heavy machinery was brought in last week to tear down the building. Arpin says the areas of the building that were still standing were too unstable that resulted in it being torn down.

A notification was made to the State Fire Marshal’s office and to The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms which is standard protocol for church fires.

There were no injuries reported.
