2 Fire in 2 Weeks Hits Church School
An arson fire caused $90,000 in damage Monday to a Norwalk church school that also was hit by a suspicious blaze two weeks ago, officials said.
Flames broke out at the United Korean Evangelical Church in the 11000 block of Pioneer Boulevard about 1 a.m., said Los Angeles County fire Capt. Steve Noble. Six county and Santa Fe Springs engine companies put out the fire in about 25 minutes, he said. There were no injuries.
Noble said a flammable liquid was used in Monday’s fire.
Flames caused about $6,000 in damage to one room of the church school on Sept. 18, officials said.
Both fires are being investigated by Sheriff’s arson investigators, Noble said. No one has been arrested.
