SEMINOLE, Okla. (AP) -- Investigators say a fire that destroyed a former church in Seminole was started by an arsonist.

Gene Wheat with the state fire marshal's office says all accidental causes have been ruled out.

The fire early last Sunday destroyed the 80-year-old, three-story former First United Methodist Church.

The building hasn't been used as a church for nearly a decade was being used for storage.

The building has been demolished to prevent the remains from crumbling into the street.
