TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - A fire that destroyed a warehouse containing Christian apparel was accidental, authorities said Wednesday as agents continued probing a rash of church arsons in rural Alabama.
The fire at the Multi Marketing Inc. warehouse Friday was caused by a heater left too close to flammable material, said Ed Paulk, assistant state fire marshal.
The fire occurred hours after another blaze caused minor damage at a Methodist chapel at the University of Alabama, raising concerns that both might have some connection to 10 arsons at rural Baptist churches in Alabama this month.
