Workers salvaged some items, but they do have smoke and water damage.

Town leaders say the train station building was insured for $580,000, and the contents inside them were insured for $216,000.

Council members say they have a lot of things to sort through during the next few weeks.

Pulaski County fire investigators say they have determined what sparked a fire at the historic Pulaski train station late Sunday, November 16th.

Pulaski County Fire Marshal Chip Hutchinson says the cause is accidental, and most likely electrical. The flames sparked in the attic.

Hutchinson tells us museum workers reported problems with the circuit breaker box. The outside light circuit would trip sometimes.

The Fire Marshal says he could not have come to the conclusion without the help of the ATF.
