Electrical fault ruled out in fire
DANVILLE – One insurance investigator has ruled out electrical causes for the fire that destroyed a downtown building last week, but fire officials have not been able to pinpoint what did ignite the blaze, according to Deputy Director Bobby Lillard of the Danville Fire Department.
Lillard said investigators know where the fire started – close to the back door of Danville Book World, 107 N. Vermilion St. – but can't determine the cause, which will likely officially be listed as "undetermined after investigation."
