[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 496297, member: 84"] Thankfully they kept it from spreading. The roof of the market across the street did "catch" but they did get it out and there was no major damage. easy child and I drove past there around 10 ish and it was still smoldering.....firemen were watching to make certain it didn't burst into flame again. This first opened as the ice company. It was rather huge. When it made the switch to lumber co, they just used the original buildings......all made of wood, and that made it go poof! It could be seen miles out of town. Ten different communities sent trucks and equipment. Water had to be brought in by tanks. Our newly voted in Mayor (Drew Hastings) was a bag of nerves. This was only a block from downtown, all stores there are connected, so yeah. Could've been much worse. Took them 3 hrs to get the flames down to embers. Two firemen were sent to the hospital. One for smoke I believe, the other had a wall fall on him. Both are ok though. Two teens have been questioned by police. Arson is suspected as the teens were seen running from the building shortly before the fire was spotted. Small town, didn't take long to know who those teens were. They're bringing in an expert to check for arson. A real shame. The new owner, who owns another lumber co here, was using it for storage until he could get together the extra funds to use it for something. He'd bought it because he didn't want the landmark torn down. :( [/QUOTE]
