Beverly Hills fire rooted in crawl space say Kentucky marshal
Kentucky fire marshal Warren Southworth said the Beverly Hills Supper Club blaze began in a Zebra Room crawl space with an electrical ignition fed by ceiling tiles and wood supports. He noted long ignition, smoke buildup, and simultaneous ignition of combustibles as doors let the fire spread through the building. An insurer cited a short circuit in a decorative fountain as a possible cause.
