Smoke And Water Damage Restoration After A Library Fire, Book By Book

The late-January fire at the Meadville Public Library was confined to a single room in the building’s basement and was extinguished within about 10 minutes of firefighters being dispatched, according to Meadville Central Fire Chief Evan Hasko. The cleanup process that followed took nine weeks and stretched from the basement floor to the third floor ceiling. On Friday, four months after the fire, the building reopened for business. A mid-December fire at The Salvation Army’s Meadville headquarters on Park Avenue destroyed toys and food that had been collected for those in need during the holiday season, but the fire was confined to a small kitchenette at the front of the building.
