MORENCI The cause of a fire that destroyed a pallet facility in Morenci has been ruled undetermined, however it may have been due to an improperly installed wood burner.
That was the determination following a state fire marshal s investigation last week, according to Morenci Fire Chief Brad Lonis.
Crews were dispatched at 11:27 a.m. on March 3 for a fire at 235 Salisbury St. Multiple departments responded to the scene.
The first crew arrived on scene seven minutes after the call was placed. Lonis said it was a pretty good response time considering Morenci firefighters are not at the station during the day.
