Investigators are still working Tuesday to figure out what sparked a fire that destroyed a business in Checotah on Sunday.

Flames engulfed the law office in downtown Checotah. The fire started around 4:30 p.m. and collapsed the roof of the law office on Gentry Street. The Checotah Main Street office and a donut shop also sustained smoke and water damage.

Officials tell ktul.com they still don't have a cause for this fire.

The Checotah Fire Department along with several other volunteer fire departments helped put the fire out. No one was hurt.
