Fire officials have deemed a fire at a Minneapolis mosque accidental.

The fire at Al Hikma Mosque started around 5:30 p.m. Monday, according to the Minneapolis Police Department.

Officials say accumulated trash near an unused entrance to the mosque was burning and extinguished by the Minneapolis Fire Department. Smoke from inside the building was also cleared. The fire did not extend into the building. 

The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations or CAIR said security cameras recorded an unidentified person leaving the area.

CAIR had previously called for an investigation into possible bias motive for the fire.

The Minneapolis Fire Department says it determined the fire had possibly started accidentally from people experiencing homelessness who were using the stairwell area.

No arrests have been made.
