State investigators say the reason a fire began in an Anderson Group Home early Monday morning, killing 10 and severely injuring at least 18 remains undetermined.
In a press conference at the scene this morning, authorities announced a cause has not yet been found but that investigative work on the scene has been concluded.
Authorities ruled out arson or the furnace as being possible causes for the deadly blaze. They said they know the fire began in the attic and that there were some problems with spliced electrical wires in that area. Still, they could not pinpoint the cause.
While arson charges have been ruled out, authorities said negligence charges could still be possible.
State Fire Marshall Randy Cole said that authorities may never determine the cause of this fire, but that the investigation is ongoing.
