Cause Of Fatal Wildlife Park Barn Fire Undetermined

Ohio Fire Marshal's Office

TheOhio Fire Marshal's office says the cause of last week's barn fire at an Ottawa County wildlife park cannot be determined. 

Authorities say damage to the barn is too extensive to determine the cause.  It's unknown whether a power outage the day before was connected to the fire. Holly Hunt is co-owner of the African Safari Wildlife Park in Port Clinton.  She spoke with reporters shortly after the Thanksgiving night blaze:

Hunt has vowed to rebuild.
