Judge Denies Gag Order In Roseville Galleria Fire

AUBURN (CBS13) - A Placer County judge has denied a gag order to seal key information in the Roseville Galleria fire that caused millions in damage.

The denial of the gag order means documents including a report  that explains why sprinklers at the mall had been turned off will now be released.

Roseville officials have not said who authorized that decision or how long the sprinklers were off.

The Placer County District Attorney had requested the gag order in the criminal case against suspect Alexander Piggee, citing concerns over excessive publicity.
