An investigation by the Northfield Fire Department into the Dec. 18 fire at Mainland Medical Center could not determine a cause for the blaze, Assistant Fire Chief Lauren Crooks said.

The cause of the fire, which destroyed one of the three wings of the 1970s-era building on Zion Road, was ruled "accidental, but undetermined," Crooks said.

The fire appears to have started on the ground floor, Crooks said, in or near the office of oral surgeon Robert Fiedler.

The other wings, separated by a stairwell and breezeway, sustained smoke or minor water damage. The entire complex - 10 office suites that include 15 doctor's offices, several of which were vacant at the time of the fire - has been shut down by its owner, George Groch, for the foreseeable future.

Total damages to the building were estimated at about $2 million, Crooks said.

MILLVILLE - A fire that damaged a house on Seventh Street on Friday morning is under investigation but is not considered suspicious, city fire officials said.

The single-family home on the 300 block of North Seventh Street sustained heavy damage to the first floor, while there was some heat, smoke and water damage to the second floor, Millville fire Capt. Mike Lippincott said.

The firefighters were dispatched at 11:27 a.m. and arrived to find what Lippincott called "heavy fire" on the first floor.

"The one resident at home got out on her own," Lippincott said.

The resident, whose name was not immediately available, suffered some smoke inhalation and was treated and released at a local hospital.

Firefighters did not clear the scene until 2:56 p.m.

Lippincott said the fire has displaced the residents there, but the house may not be a total loss.
