Almost immediately following the fire, the investigation of its cause and origin commenced. At trial, much of the evidence focused on two competing theories as to the origin of the fire. The insurers of the commercial tenants, as well as WJT, Inc., d/b/a Lightning Laundiy (“Lightning Laundiy”) and The Face Place (all collectively referred to herein as “commercial tenants”) allege that the fire originated in the area of the fluorescent light fixture in the break room. In contrast, the insurer of Williamsburg, as well as Williamsburg and Williams' (all collectively referred to herein as “Williamsburg”) agree that the fire started in the break room, but contends that it originated from the toaster oven and not from the fluorescent light fixture.
