Update, Feb. 2:
At a City Council meeting Feb. 1, Fire Chief Kyle Taylor provided updates regarding the fire that broke out Jan. 27, destroying two businesses in downtown Kyle.
"The county fire marshal has pretty much stopped the investigation. They know where it started; they just do not know exactly what started it. It started above the kitchen in the attic but ... it's so destroyed that they can't come to an exact decision," Taylor said. "There's nothing suspicious about the fire, and it's ruled purely accidental."
Bailey Bakouris, community outreach and public information officer for KFD, told Community Impact Newspaper that insurance investigators have visited the site and were also unable to come to a conclusion regarding the cause of the fire.
