Cause Of Chesley House Fire Still Being Determined

The Office of the Fire Marshal is still investigating the cause of a devastating house fire in Chesley.

Investigator Manny Garcia says the investigation still hasn't been able to pin down the start of the blaze that claimed the lives of a father and two children last week. Garcia notes that they are inspecting some elements that were pulled from the burnt out car port, but aren't certain the cause of the fire began there.

The GoFundMe page for the family is still active and has raised almost $40,000.
