DUNKIRK, N.Y. (WIVB) - We now know what sparked last month's inferno in Dunkirk.

Fire investigators say an electric problem in the service disconnect area caused the flames that ripped through the Masonic Temple building on Central Avenue. The fire forced a number of businesses to relocate.

The burned-out structure was recently deemed unsafe by investigators.
