Fire marshal unable to find cause of Mad River Mountain blaze
The massive fire earlier this month at the popular Mad River Mountain ski resort destroyed the property’s main lodge taking years of memories along with it. And now, we have word that we may never know what started the fire.
Investigators say that they are stumped. They know that the blaze began on a deck on the slope side of the lodge. But the fire burned the building to such a degree that those looking into the cause are unable to rule much in or out. They say that it could have been a discarded cigarette, an electrical issue or something else entirely. They simply don’t know.
At this point, the fire marshal says that the investigation is complete with the official cause listed as “undetermined.”
Mad River Mountain says that temporary structures will be used for the coming season. And they promise…they will open on time. (jj)
