BISBEE, Ariz. — The investigation into the cause of Bisbee ’s Valentines Day fire, that destroyed two historic buildings and damaged a third, is complete. Bisbee Fire Chief, Jim Richardson , is still waiting for the official report, which would include a cause of the fire.

“There’s a staircase the door was left open," which is how he says the fire spread."The fire consumed this room and went straight up.” “The biggest hold up was trying to dig out everything that was covering what we were trying to look for," Richardson said."There’s a huge pile of rubble we had to remove just get down to the fire area.”

“ probably another four or five pallets on top of what’s here already that was pulled out of the area as well," Richardson said."So that whole area caved in and dropped into the fire scene.”
