SCRANTON - Fire inspectors could not determine the cause of a fire that tore through a West Side home late Monday but did not consider the blaze suspicious.
City Fire Chief Tom Davis said inspectors traced the origin of the fire to the rear patio at 1907-1909 Lafayette St.
The fire began just after 10 p.m. Monday and left the rear of the residence charred.
Chief Davis said investigators classified the fire as undetermined but did not suspect an intentional cause.
