The fire was at the Masjid Omar mosque, 4801 E Busch Blvd.
No injuries were reported and the fire is under control, according to officials.
Investigators determined the fire was started by a small refrigerator plugged into a low-rated extension cord.
This is the third fire in recent weeks at a local mosque. There were two fires at the Islamic Education Center on Rockpointe Drive in July.
