Investigators say high winds led to fire at Fredonia church

Chautauqua County fire investigators say Friday's fire at a Fredonia church was an accident.

FREDONIA, NY-- Chautauqua County fire investigators say Friday's fire at a Fredonia church was a freak accident.

They say winds blew part of a copper gutter off of the Family Church and it landed on a transformer. That electrified the gutter and started the base of the bell tower on fire.

Most of the fire was contained to the tower, but the church will have to hold services at their old building on Lakeview Avenue until it's fixed up.
