Every fire is under investigation until the fire marshal discovers that the property is not insured. If it is mortgaged and required to have insurance by the lender, you can be assured that an investigation will be done.

There will be a lot more of those fires because several of the biggest chicken companys will not put chickens in them because even if they are up dated with all the latest equipment they are considered too small. Look at all the new houses being built.
