Fire temporarily closes market
OLD FORGE - An electrical fire Tuesday temporarily closed Ray's Shur Save Market and forced the grocer to throw out food.
Borough firefighters responded to the market at 431 Lawrence St. about 2:45 p.m., where they extinguished an electrical fire sparked in the building's electrical room, Chief Mark Tagliaterra said.
Officials from the U.S. Department of Agriculture also responded to evaluate the condition of the market's food. When Mr. Tagliaterra left at about 4 p.m., market officials had already thrown out all open produce.
No one was injured in the fire, Mr. Tagliaterra said.
Firefighters from Avoca, Taylor and Moosic also responded to the scene.
