Investigators say a fire that caused minimal damage to a New Jersey synagogue was intentionally set.

Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli says members of Congregation K�Hal Adath Jeshuran in Paramus smelled gas in their building around 7:50 a.m. Tuesday and contacted authorities.

Fire and police officials determined an accelerant had been used in the rear of the building to start a fire. But the fire had quickly burned itself out, and no injuries were reported.

Molinelli says the blaze caused minimal damage to the building�s exterior.

No arrests have been made, and authorities say the investigation is continuing.
