The one year anniversary of Woodstock's Victoria Street fire and explosion is fast approaching, but still no word on on a cause of the horrific fire that claimed the lives of 73 year old Margaret Gillett and 79 year old Bill Watmough. Woodstock Fire Chief Scott Tegler says he has recently spoken with the lead investigator in the case, but the fire/explosion remains a big question mark in many people minds. Tegler says the Ontario Fire Marshall's lengthy investigation is not unusual in cases such as the 168 Victoria Street fire " This is a higher profile situation that occurred, but for any other fire that we investigate of significant nature where we have to call the (OFM) Ontario Fire Marshall in it's not uncommon for their investigation report to take well over a year before we see it". Tegler says the Woodstock Fire Department would like to see some answers as well, but they respect the OFM's due diligence in their investigation as they eliminate all potential yes, no or maybe's before coming to a determination.
