CONWAY — State Fire Marshal Sean P. Toomey announced Friday afternoon that the fire investigation at the Red Jacket Mountain View Resort on White Mountain Highway in North Conway has been completed. The cause remains undetermined.

The release from Toomey states: “On April 30, 2022, the Office of the State Fire Marshal was contacted by the North Conway Fire Department to assist with the investigation of the multi-alarm fire. After conducting a scene examination and following-up on interviews with guests and witnesses, the cause of the fire has been listed as undetermined. An undetermined cause classification means that the cause of the fire could not be proven to an acceptable level of certainty. However, there was no evidence or information that led investigators to believe that a crime had been committed.”
