Cause of West Fargo Church Fire Unknown

WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The cause of a fire that heavily damaged a 118-year-old church on the grounds of the Bonanzaville museum and pioneer village in West Fargo will never be known.

State Fire Marshal Ray Lambert tells KFGO radio investigators were able to conclude where the blaze originated, but they could not determine an exact cause of the early morning fire on July 19.

Lambert says there is no indication of foul play in the fire that started above the basement ceiling in St. John's Lutheran Church.
