Firefighters were still extinguishing hot spots on Monday.

The Chatham-Kent Fire Department says the investigation could take several days because of the complexity and size of the building. The Office of the Fire Marshal is also investigating, along with the Chatham-Kent Police Service.

A damage estimate also remains unknown at this time.
