PROVO, Utah (AP) -- A fire official in Utah says a final report should be released this week on a massive blaze that destroyed the historic Provo Tabernacle in December.
The Daily Herald of Provo says Fire Marshal Lynn Schofield wouldn't preview the report due out Thursday.
But the Provo fire chief previously ruled out arson as the cause of the four-alarm Dec. 17 blaze.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints hasn't said what will happen to the building. It dates to the 1890s, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
Flames gutted the landmark structure that had octagonal corner towers and originally had a central tower that rose 147 feet.
Fire officials have said the church will decide the fate of the building.
