A restaurant in downtown Blairsville took on minor damage from a fire on Saturday.
Indiana County 911 reported that Black Lick, Blairsville, Coral-Graceton, Homer City and Indiana Fire Departments were dispatched at 12:o4 PM to a fire at Carol’s Cafe at 31 South Stewart Street. Nikki Updegraff, one of the employees of the restaurant said she saw smoke coming from one of the corners of the restaurant.
Blairsville fire crews were able to make quick work of the fire in the lower levels of the structure and opening the wall to check for any fire spread. Crews stayed on scene to ventilate the building. The cause of the fire was someone burning some nearby brush and weeds along the sidewalk, and an ember from that went to the restaurant nearby. No word yet on when the restaurant will reopen
