CLIO, Ala. (AP) - The fire that destroyed the childhood home in
Clio of the late four-term Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace has been
ruled accidental.
Ragan Ingram, a spokesman for the state fire marshal, said
Tuesday investigators determined the fire started in the kitchen
and was caused by an electrical problem.
The Sunday night fire gutted the home, leaving only brick walls.
Built in 1925, the home was listed on the Alabama Register of
Landmarks and Heritage in 1975. The Wallace family sold the house
years ago, and fire marshals said it was vacant when the fire
occurred.
