Estimated Dollar Loss:

Investigator Narrative:
This fire was handed over to the independent investigator working on behalf of the insurance company, due to the fact that they had made entry to the fire scene and completed their investigation not knowing that Clackamas Fire’s investigation had not been completed. Based on my observation of existing fire patterns, the area of origin was in the garage. The point of origin appeared to be in either the North corner, or the South corner behind the air compressor. The cause of the fire is undetermined. This case is closed but may be re-opened pending further information.
