Ellis said they are still working on a site in Clay County.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the State Fire Marshal&#8217;s Office is working with Altamont firefighters to determine the cause of the fire. Altamont Fire Chief Jon Becker said the area of origin turned out to be where they suspected&#8230;the southeast corner of the garage by the storage area at Deb&#8217;s. Becker said the staff at Deb&#8217;s will continue to work with the fire marshal&#8217;s office to determine the cause of the fire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plenty of research and plenty of volunteer assistance means that the Meals on Wheels program will resume on Wednesday.
