A business in Brush Valley Township was destroyed following a structure fire this afternoon.
Fire crews from Brush Valley, Black Lick, Homer City, Coral Graceton and Cherry Hill Township, along with the county HazMat team and Citizens Ambulance were dispatched to shortly after 1:30 to a structure fire at the Hillside Enterprise along Brush Creek Road. Fire Chief Ed Altemus said the cause of the fire was a welder who torched some sawdust that was on the floor of the building where they build bedframes and that the flames spread quickly.
Altemus adds that fighting a fire on a day like today is tough.
Everyone that was in the building at the time was able to get out and no injuries have been reported, however the building, along with the lumber stock, is completely destroyed. Crews were able to control the fire around 4 p.m.
We will provide more information on our website as well as on our Facebook page as its made available.
