The owner of a Columbia Borough antiques shop that burned to the ground last week said Monday that a Pennsylvania State Police fire marshal told him they probably won't be able to pin down the cause.
David Doolittle, co-owner of Tollbooth Antiques, said a fire marshal listed among the possible causes fireworks, as empty firework containers were found behind the building.
"They took a hard look at those and said they can't really say for sure that they were freshly lit off," Doolittle said. "They could have been a week old, two weeks old; they couldn't determine the age of the fireworks."
Doolittle said the fire marshal told him that he expects the fire's cause to be classified as "undetermined." When Doolittle was asked if he thinks he knows what caused the fire, he said:
"No, not any more than anyone else."
