No cause has been determined

Last week, more than twenty units responded to a fire at the Valley and New Center strip mall. After an initial investigation, officials discovered that the fire worked up into the common attic of the strip mall, extending in both directions and spreading to all units. As a result of the incident, the bulk of the structure has been destroyed.
City officials are now investigating the incident to find a cause.
