This fire resulted in approximately $100,000 worth of damage. Due to the extent of damage, the specific cause of the fire is undetermined. Improperly discarded smoking materials is a suspected cause; however, Fire Investigators could not rule out the possibility of an electrical fault involving a nearby electrical outlet and/or light fixture.
