Chief Kevin Clifford says the building was full of 100 pound propane
cylinders which should not be stored inside and the building was very
secure making it difficult to get access.
Once they gained access, the fire was so intense they had to take a defensive tact on it.
The blaze was knocked down and no one was hurt.
The
man accused of setting the fire is is court today on charges relating
to last night's fire and another fire on the Dever Road on October 22nd.
