Arson investigators were at the scene of a fire at Islamic center in Houston, Texas that burned down early Friday, according to local station KHOU.

Smoke billowed from the Quba Islamic Institute early in the morning as the Houston Fire Department responded to an alarm at about 5:30 a.m CST, the station reported.

The fire was under control about an hour later, but the building, identified as a family center that was set to open soon, was a “complete loss,” according to KHOU.

The station reported that investigators had yet to determine the cause of the fire.
