The cause of the Feb. 12 fire that gutted an Orono building and displaced four University of Maine students will remain undetermined, the state fire marshal’s office said Friday.
Sgt. Tim York said a state electrical inspector, who visited the building on Wednesday, was unable to pinpoint the cause of the fire. The fire marshal’s office will not continue to investigate.
“It appears to be an accidental fire, but there is no way to tell definitively what caused the fire,” York said.
The fire at 34 Pine St., which started around 7 p.m., originated in a first-floor bedroom. Nobody was injured, but it appears one cat died in the fire.
