Cause of GR fire still under investigation

The cause of the Washington Square fire Dec. 26 is still being determined according to Green River Fire Chief Mike Nomis.

A fire burned through the upper floor of the building and took firefighters all night to extinguish. While much of the second floor was burned, the first floor suffered mostly water and smoke damage.

Nomis said a majority of the investigation is complete, but the department is waiting for insurance investigators to compile their data with the department’s findings before he releases the information. He said he expects to release the cause next week.
