COLUMBUS, N.J. -- The search continues for the cause of Tuesday's four alarm fire at The Columbus Farmers Market in Burlington County, New Jersey.
It's the oldest and largest flea market in the Delaware Valley, and several businesses were destroyed by the raging flames.
Fire investigators spent Wednesday looking for the cause of the blaze that filled the sky with four alarms worth of smoke.
The market was closed yesterday but there are reports workers may have been inside at the time.
Market attorney Matthew McCrink tells us, "That's under investigation at this point. We don't really know, and I don't think I'm allowed to comment on that until the investigation is concluded."
Ten of the markets 65 permanent shops were destroyed.
Johnnie Choy's shoe repair shop now cinders along with his customer's shoes.
Choy says, "Hundreds of pairs of shoes ... all gone."
The owners of Not Just Bagels, Mike Charnik and Holly Newell, are trying to figure what to do next.
Charnik tells us, "We're just waiting to find out what our next step is... We've never experienced anything like this before and it's all new to us."
Holly says, "I want to cry. I want to go in and see it."
Management says its vast outdoor vending area, as well as its produce and seafood markets and other units untouched by the fire, will reopen on Thursday.
Crews are already working to clean up areas of smoke and water damage in buildings closer to burned out building 4.
The big day for this historic market is Thanksgiving.
"It is the biggest day of the year for the market, and we will move heaven and earth, but we will be open on Thanksgiving, I guarantee you that," McCrink said.
