Firefighters were reportedly unable to enter the church as the floor into the basement had already collapsed

The fire has been deemed suspicious, and it has been confirmed that no one was inside at the time.

Police are asking if anyone has any video footage between 3:30 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. around the area of the church, to contact investigators at 204-745-6760.

An investigation is ongoing.
