Don't call it "arson" just yet.
Batavia Police Detective Kevin Czora said this afternoon that just because the state's fire dog, "Shadow," detected the scent of chemicals in the old Wiard Plow building on Tuesday doesn't mean an accelerant was used to ignite Saturday's big fire.
"You're talking about the floor of an old business that used many different kinds of chemicals," Czora said.
The investigation continues, Czora said, and detectives continue to question various individuals in an attempt to figure out if the fire was deliberately set, and if so by whom, or if not, exactly what caused the fire.
A key to answer the questions will be what the state's fire lab determines were the chemicals that caught the nose of "Shadow."
