The Maine State Fire Marshal's Office says it's not sure what caused a massive fire at a Maine Turnpike Authority garage in Auburn over the weekend, but it's not believed to be the result of foul play.

Maine Department of Public Safety Spokesperson Shannon Moss says the call came into dispatchers just before 6 PM on Sunday, February 2nd.

The Office of the State Fire Marshal, assisted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, spent the next day investigating the scene, trying to determine what may have caused the blaze.

The Maine Fuel Board and the Auburn Fire Department assisted them.

When all was said and done, the State Fire Marshal classified the fire as "undetermined" citing several accidental causes that may have played a hand in the fire.

Thankfully, no one was injured in Sunday's incident.
