[LNP | LancasterOnline] Fireworks did not cause the Tollbooth Antiques fire: police

This Columbia Spy photo of an empty fireworks container was taken behind the Tollbooth Antiques building a week before the massive fire there. The container may have fueled speculation that fireworks were involved. 

Columbia's police chief told borough officials Tuesday that fireworks did not cause the fire that tore through Tollbooth Antiques on Chestnut Street last week.

Chief Jack Brommer said during a borough council meeting that the investigating state police fire marshal said the cause of the fire has not been determined, but fireworks have been ruled out.

"(The fire marshal) has not reached a conclusion yet as to the cause, but I can comment that he is confident that fireworks were not the cause of the fire," Brommer said. "So I know there has been a lot of speculation about that, but once again, he is very confident that fireworks were not the cause."
