Horse Barn Fire Ruled Accidental

Fire officials do not know the cause of the fire, but say it was accidental

The fire that killed 18 horses at a stable in Unincorporated McHenry County nearly two weeks ago has been ruled accidental.

Officials have not been able to determine the cause of the fire at M&R Overlook Farms because of all the debris inside and they don't plan to investigate any further, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Reports indicate the blaze started in an attached apartment where two workers lived.

The 22 horses that survived the fire are now at other stables.
