state and local fire investigators have ruled out arson as the cause of a three cause of a three-alarm fire that decimated a mattress store in Claremont's mill district Sunday night.
Fire officials and investigators from the state Fire Marshal's Office spent yesterday combing through debris searching for clues to the cause of the blaze, which is now considered accidental. However, the cause remains undetermined, according to a news release.
A significant propane gas explosion occurred at the Mattress Factory Outlet, a mattress manufacturer and retail store that occupied the brick building on Main Street, the news release said, but investigators were unable to determine whether the propane explosion was the cause or a result of the fire. The store was heated with propane.
Firefighters received an initial report of flames shooting through the front of the building around 7:45 p.m
