Staff at William Burnside and Company hope to be back in their downtown Danville building by the end of next week. The business is next to the building that was destroyed in a fire last week. The cause of the blaze is still unknown.

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."
