Jackson firefighters help search for the cause of Thursday's fire at the Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Museum Friday morning on Lakeland Drive in Jackson.

Investigators have found no evidence of arson in Thursday's fire that gutted three buildings of the Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Museum. Deputy Chief Fire Marshal Ricky Davis said that the fire marshal's office will continue its investigation this morning to determine exactly what happened.

"Everything is still under investigation, but as of right now, there's no evidence of arson here," Davis said Monday morning.

Davis also said the building where the fire started, the children's barn, met fire code specifications.
