“The State Fire Marshal is doing the investigation, and I'm sure the insurance companies will also come in and do their investigation, to see if they can find anything, they will see if they can find what cost. You know whether electrical, whether it's gas, or they may not find any cause. We've had some where there's accidental unknown, because there wasn't anything left to figure out where it started from,” says Fire Chief Jason Johns, Richland Township/Belle Center Fire Department.
Around 10 fire departments from Logan County and surrounding areas in the response.
