Monday Fire Ruled Accidental

A state police fire marshal says an ashtray with cigarette butts that was emptied into a plastic garbage can with papers in it caused the fire at 11 South Center Street Monday morning, according to a fax sent to WESB and The HERO.

The fire gutted the living room, but the rest of the building had only smoke and heat damage.

43-year-old Gail Button was not home at the time of the fire.

Damage is estimated at $120,000. The Bradford City Housing Authority owns the property.
