“It has become a crime scene now.”
Words that should never be spoken about a church are now what leave Pastor Mike Smith heartbroken.
The Fincastle Church of God fire was deemed arson last week.
A determination that the fire was a crime was made within a week of the investigation beginning.
“Tennessee Bomb and Arson came out and collected evidence. Once they did some work at the scene, it became obvious it was arson,” said Campbell County Sheriff Robbie Goins.
