Federal investigators could not pinpoint the cause of the fire last year that destroyed the QVC distribution center in Rocky Mount but say it doesn’t appear to have been intentionally set.
Fire crews from six counties responded to the fire, which killed employee Kevon Ricks.
It has now been declared the largest structure fire in the state’s history.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents and other agencies, have been investigating for nearly a year, trying to determine if the cause was accidental, natural, or intentionally set.
They said there was no evidence that the cause of this fire was a result of criminal activity.
QVC did not rebuild the facility, which led to the loss of about 2,000 jobs in the area.
