Eight fire companies were dispatched Sunday night to Debnar’s Pools and Spas in Blairsville for a fire in a storage area behind the store.
Indiana County 911 reported the fire at 7:45 PM, and initially dispatched Blairsville, Black Lick, Coral-Graceton, Armagh/East Wheatfield and Clyde fire departments along with the county’s hazmat team and Citizens Ambulance to the property along Route 22 West in Burrell Township. Black Lick fire chief Josh Hutcheson said that fire was through the roof of the garage when he arrived on-scene.

Owner Lloyd Debnar talked about what was in the warehouse.
No word yet on the cause of the fire. Hutcheson said that the cooperation between the fire departments was key as they fought the fire in high humidity.
State police fire marshals have been called in to investigate the cause of the fire.
