No charges in connection with Tuesday fire

The cause of an apartment fire Tuesday on Themis Street was still undetermined Wednesday, according to Cape Girardeau Fire Department chief Rick Ennis.

In less than 30 minutes, crews contained the fire that started in a top-floor apartment, which sustained heavy fire, smoke and water damage.

Ennis said Wednesday methamphetamine precursors were found in the apartment, but there was no evidence to indicate a methamphetamine lab started the fire. Ennis said despite the presence of the precursors there wasn't enough evidence of criminal activity to turn the matter over to police.

Carl Kinnison, Cape Girardeau police chief, said the department wasn't investigating the incident and had made no arrests in connection to a methamphetamine lab.

No tenants were injured in the fire.
