We will continue to provide information to our partners as it is developed by local ATF agents. The area of origin has been identified for this fire and all known accidental or natural causes have been eliminated to the satisfaction of investigators. State, local and federal investigators worked as a team to try to come up with answers under difficult and trying circumstances. I would especially like to thank the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms for its quick and impressive response. All the investigators offered a special thanks to the Salvation Army and the Anderson Office of Emergency Management for the logistical assistance provided to the investigation since the fire on June 25, 1999.
Callers can remain anonymous and all calls are confidential.
The Anderson Police Department, Indiana State Fire Marshal and Indianapolis based ATF agents will continue the investigation of the fire.
