Legends Halloween party. Were playing a mummy game. Notice the straw and the decoration lights.. And this is where the source of the fire started.. So dont be so quick to judge, my money is on this! The cooks said on sunday that the breakers kept popping in the kitchen.
And when the workers left Sunday night they didn't bother to shut off the Halloween lights! Next to the bales of straw?? See all the cords, and wires? hmmm
a simple cigarette cold have also done the trick. I think this story needs to be revised! Nobody who worked there has been interviewed, shouldn't the employees be questioned as well?
I think i have a story here.......

What about if the cleaning crew Sunday left the hay in a pile and there was a cigarette smoldering in the straw and all of the lights were still on and the plugs overheated? So many possibilities... Wow, I'm glad this finally came out.

Just think about how many houses are set on fire by christmas lights every year. This isn't any different.

It started in the Kitchen. It has already been declared by the Fire Marshal. So unless they had straw and lights in the kitchen than your "accident" story doesn't hold water. Besides, how many fires is troy up to now?!? Somewhere around 7 or 8.

Only 3-4 have been buildings he has directly owned. Others just involved somehow. What a coincedence. You are way to naive.

You are a pituful bunch of mudslingers. So many opinions and so much of it is based on useless gossip. If I were these people I would take my money and businesses and get out of that spiteful little hole and small town mentality as soon as possible.

Well maybe the 2 people that was in the bar after it closed, should have unplugged them, or how about the hole in the window, maybe something flew in! But hey we all will know at some point!

360 degrees of possibiilties of how the fire started. Dry hay, paper, poorly discarded cigarettes, electrical wires from strings of lights made in China no doubt leads me to think more on these possibilities for this fire.
