 13 churches and eight Minnesota communities have been intentionally set on fire since 2012. That's according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety and they're now asking authorities authorities are asking you for help. The Department of Public Safety State Fire Marshal Division and local authorities want anyone with information on these unsolved cases to come forward. Since 2012 there have been several arson fires in places of worship. You see them all listed on the screen. One blaze last year caused millions of dollars in damage at Melrose's St. Mary Catholic Church. And in 2012 surveillance captured a suspect walking into an ISANI church in the middle of the night and attempting to light on fire part of the building under construction. Authorities do not believe any of these church fires are connected. The public can call the Minnesota arson hotline at 800-723-2020 to submit information about any suspicious fire.
