State Police fire marshal’s have ruled the fire yesterday to be accidental.
The cause of the fire at 11 South Center Street was determined to be a cigarette which was still hot when it was dumped into a plastic trash receptacle.
Gail Button, 43, the resident of the apartment, was not home at the time of the fire.
The fire damaged the living room area, and caused heat and smoke damage to other parts of the apartment.

I am sorry that you lost all of your possessions and the cat and I understand your anger with the situation with the cat. That being said, I’m not taking any posts down. The State Police Fire Marshall ruled that it was accidental, and that the cigarette caused it. He has been doing this sort of thing for years and actually has training in determining the cause of fires that goes far beyond the knowledge of the average citizen.
