Fire Destroys Commercial Building In Armstrong County, Pennsylvania

A sports bar and pizza shop were destroyed by fire early Tuesday morning in Armstrong County. Firefighters were first called to the building on Hill Street in Manor Township around 3:15 a.m. “When our first unit arrived on scene they had fire blowing out of the side of the roof,” Manor Township Assistant Fire Chief Matt Klingensmith said. “The fire had a real good head start on us.” There was a close call for some of the first firefighters on the scene, who sensed trouble and got out before the roof of the building collapsed. “When they got to where the bulk of the fire was at, the conditions were hot and smoky and they didn’t feel comfortable,” Klingensmith. “So, they backed out."
