Arson having been ruled out, last month's inferno at the Herb Chambers car dealership in Sudbury that damaged or destroyed 19 high-end vehicles at a loss of up to $750,000 was apparently sparked by a malfunctioning 2004 Jaguar XJ8 damaged in an unrelated fire at another location, investigators announced today.
"There is no evidence to suggest that the fire was intentionally set," Sudbury Fire Chief William L. Miles, Sudbury Police Chief Scott Nix and State Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan said in a joint statement of the Sept. 22 blaze.
The officials said when the sports car was initially impaired by fire, tow operators trying to release an electronic brake reconnected the engine battery that firefighters had disconnected and noticed smoke, so disconnected it again.
"At the dealership, some repair work had been done with additional work planned. The car was parked on the lot overnight with the battery connected and no signs of fire or smoke," Miles, Nix and Coan said. "Whether the dealership fire was caused by the original mechanical malfunction that the mechanics working on the car had not yet identified, or another electrical or mechanical failure, cannot be determined. Jaguar sent experts to try to determine the exact malfunction, (but) were unable to do so because of the severe destruction of the car."
According to Coan's office, in 2012, 2,502 car fires resulted in six deaths, 26 injuries to both civilians and firefighters and an estimated property damage of $15.4 million.
