Officials are investigating a fire at a New Haven mosque that was under construction on Sunday afternoon and said it appears the fire was intentionally set.
Multiple crews were dispatched to a working fire at the Diyanet Mosque on Middletown Avenue around 4 p.m. Sunday.
Firefighters at the scene said the fire on the first floor extended to the second. Crews were able to get the fire under control within an hour, however there is considerable damage to the first and second floors.
For hours, members of the Muslim community stopped by and huddled under umbrellas in the cold rain to check out the damage to the mosque.
