Fire In Pottstown
Yesterday, as I was driving around with Matt, Mike, Brandon, Greg looking at theaters for the Hopper Brothers, there was a huge fire in Pottstown. Over the summer there was another huge fire that burnt down a warehouse and was like a 2 alarm fire. This fire was MUCH bigger.
According to The Pottstown Mercury, this fire was a 4 alarm fire, with over 200 firefighters coming in from 3 counties. When all was said and done, a half of city block burnt to the ground, 40 people were homeless, and 2.5 million dollars worth of damage was done. It wasn't the biggest fire in Pottstown, but it could be the most expensive one. NBC10 's website has a pretty good slide show of pictures of the scene.
The crappy part of this is that the place where Village Productions was suppose to open over the summer is on the same city block. I can't tell whether or not it was damaged or burnt down. I have some errands to run today, so I am going to poke around and see if their building was save.
According to the fire chief... they were lucky that they "didn't loose the entire city block."
