An investigation is continuing into a fire that destroyed a Coeur d'Alene home on Dec. 27.
No one was home at the time of the early morning blaze, as the homeowners were moving, and there were no injuries.
Due to low temperatures and some instability of the structure, the initial investigation had to be delayed, according to a press release.
On Monday, fire investigators from the Coeur d’Alene Fire Department and private fire investigators working for the insurance company of the property owner returned to the site on Renoir Drive.
They have not determined the cause.
"We still have several interviews to conduct of witnesses and the property owners," the release said.
Thirty-one firefighters and five engines from Coeur d’Alene Fire Department, Kootenai County Fire and Rescue, and Northern Lakes Fire Protection District worked for several hours to contain and extinguish the fire.
