About 80 firefighters were on scene to fight the fire. Several members told KTRK they didn't think the fire was accidental, saying nothing in the mosque could cause it. (Video via KTRK)
At least one witness didn’t believe the fire was arson.
"No one got hurt, everyone was out of there. I just think it was the wrong timing and I strongly feel this is not a hate crime," Rehan Siddiqi told KRIV. (Video via KRIV)
An investigation into the fire is ongoing. A nearby banquet hall is allowing members to continue their prayers there.
