WARWICK, RI (WPRI)- - A federal agency is helping investigate the February 6th fire on Buttonwoods Avenue in Warwick that killed five people including a seven month old baby.

According to the Providence Journal the State Fire Marshal's Office is now helping find a cause behind the blaze.

The office has reportedly sent items from the fire to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives.

The results of this investigation could take up to six weeks to come back. Previously, investigators have said that they do not believe the fire was suspicious.

A judge also previously allowed some of the victim's relatives to have their own private investigators inspect the damaged house for a potential cause.
