Madison Fire Investigators: Too soon to speculate about Langdon St. cause

Investigators collected debris, ash, and burnt wood today from the scene of the fraternity fire on Langdon Street.

Head Investigator Lt. Brad Olson told 27 News it’s too early to say what caused the fire, although he says it started somewhere in the rear of the house.

“All possibilities are still on the table,” said Olson.

The State Crime Lab will analyze the material for possible evidence of arson. Olson says this is part of any routine investigation into such a large fire without an obvious cause.
