Fire investigators are still uncertain of the cause of a fire in Leesburg, Ind. that destroyed a multi-million dollar home Friday. The home's electrical heating systems may have been a factor, according to Plain Township Fire Department.

The home had electrical heating systems in the attic to prevent ice from building up on the roof. Fire investigators are looking into whether or not this was an electrical fire.

Firefighters were back at the 11,000 square foot home, located at 5 EMS T-35 Lane, over the weekend respoding to reported smaller fires. Some sections of the home are un-accessible after the slate-covered roof collapsed.
