Officials have ruled that the fire that destroyed the former All Around Building Supplies site was set intentionally. Fire officials reportedly interviewed 40 to 50 people and were able to rule out accidental and natural causes for the fire. The vacant building went up in flames last Monday, and it was the fifth fire to occur at the former lumber yard since 2008. Firefighters originally responded to the call around 9:15 in the morning on June 9th, and walls of the building partially collapsed about five hours after that. Investigators noted that there had been several instances of people breaking into the vacant building in the past. The last fire to occur at the building, back on March 10th, was also ruled an arson. That case also remains unsolved.
