Independent Fire Investigation: 11/14

Our insurance company made the decision to hire an independent fire "cause & origin" expert. This is primarily because of two factors: 1) the preliminary ruling from the Wichita Fire Dpt that the fire's cause was 'accidental due to a probably candle' and; 2) the possibility of subrogation from other insurance companies. On Friday, 11/14 David Wheeler (our board president) spent several hours at the office with this expert. David reported it was very interesting and the "this guy definitely knows his stuff." He looked at, took photo’s of, and even smelled parts of the office where the fire started. Based upon his investigation, he believes he knows what caused the fire rather than going with a probably theory. It will be interesting to learn what his actual report reveals.
