The 120-year-old synagogue in downtown Duluth collapsed in two places early Monday morning as it took firefighters five hours to hose it down. One firefighter was injured by falling debris and treated at the hospital but was soon released.

Steve Hunegs, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, said in a statement that they will continue to work with the departments as the investigation continues.

“We wish the Duluth Jewish community a peaceful and restful Shabbat as we continue to offer our full support,” Hunegs said.
