Murfreesboro Fire & Rescue Department's Fire Marshal's Office concluded their investigation Wednesday afternoon into the cause of a duplex fire at 207 Richardson Avenue. As you recall, firefighters arrived on-the-scene around 10:00 o'clock Monday night (11/17/2014).

Assistant Fire Marshal Michael Bartlett said, "The fire was determined to be accidental. One of the nine children admitted to playing with fire."

"Rumors surfaced about a bouncy ball and an inhaler. Those items have been ruled out as the actual cause of the fire," Bartlett continued.

The 14 residents displaced by the fire will continue to receive assistance from the American Red Cross.
