State Fire and Insurance officials say a fire that gutted a peanut warehouse in Sylvester one week ago has been ruled accidental. The determination is a welder’s torch sparked the blaze, which resulted in an estimated loss of $3.5 million dollars to the Farm Commodities Peanut Warehouse. The loss includes 2,300 tons of peanuts destroyed.
