January 20, 2012|WSBT-TV Report

The11,000-square-foot home of Biomet co-founder Jerry Ferguson burned overnight Thursday. A preliminary report found an electrical heating system installed in the attic area to keep ice from building up on the metal style roof may have started the fire.

Firefighters were called back to the home several times Friday and Saturday to deal with flare ups. They say it was tough to get to some of those spots because parts of the house had collapsed.

A firefighter suffered minor injuries fighting the fire.
