LONGMONT, Colo. (AP) - Investigators say a fatal fire at a business in northern Colorado was caused by a space heater in a small, makeshift living area that was set up next to the building.
Longmont Fire Marshal Michele Goldman ruled the April 3 blaze at AAA Electric that killed 56-year-old Richard Benz an accident, and a city official has said the business would not be fined.
