The Ontario Fire Marshal has been called in to investigate a suspicious fire at a church in North Burlington.
Firefighters were called to Trinity Baptist Church on Appleby Line, north of the 407, just after 1 a.m. Wednesday morning.
Pictures posted online show that the church was also vandalized. Graffiti spray painted on the side of the 126 year old building spelled out ‘ISIS’ and ‘ISIS will remai[n]’.
When fire crews arrived on the scene, smoke and flames were seen shooting up from the roof of the building.
