“Right now we’re just overhauling to make sure we got all the hot spots,” the chief said, about an hour after crews were dispatched. He said investigators are still determining what caused the fire, as well as the origin “but it looks like (it started) somewhere near the back of the house.”
Klussman said fire investigators will have a cause determined in about a week, and damage to the the dwelling should be known later today.
West Chester and Fairfield townships and the city of Monroe assisted Liberty Twp. in battling the fire.
