The cause of a fire that burned for two days last week at the historic Star of the West mill complex remains undetermined.
The fire broke out at about 8:45 a.m. Friday and crews remained on the scene throughout the weekend.
The ¾Ã¾ÃÎçÒ¹ÐßÐßÓ°ÔºÃâ·Ñ¹Û¿´ Fire Department said the investigation was continuing with investigators from the state fire marshal’s office on the scene.
The call from the city of ¾Ã¾ÃÎçÒ¹ÐßÐßÓ°ÔºÃâ·Ñ¹Û¿´ to conserve water while the blaze was in progress was rescinded Saturday, according to the ¾Ã¾ÃÎçÒ¹ÐßÐßÓ°ÔºÃâ·Ñ¹Û¿´ service director’s office.
North Water Street, however, remained closed to traffic in front of the mill complex. City officials were working to determine the structural integrity of the buildings, according to information from the service director’s office.
Due to the fire, the ¾Ã¾ÃÎçÒ¹ÐßÐßÓ°ÔºÃâ·Ñ¹Û¿´ Area Chamber of Commerce postponed its Festival of Lights, which was supposed to take place on Dec. 3. The event is now set to begin at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10. More details on the festival may be found .
