Cause of downtown fire last month still unknown

The Ontario Fire Marshall's Office still hasn't determined the cause of a fire in downtown Kenora last month.

The blaze destroyed a 10 unit rooming house on 3rd Street South.

Fire Chief Warren Brinkman says they are still awaiting test results from the provincial forensics lab to come back.

He adds that there is a back log of cases and it can often take months to get lab tests back.
