The cleanup continues after a fire damaged three businesses and an apartment in Lebanon County on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
Fire crews say when they arrived, flames were shooting from the roof of the complex on Horseshoe Pike. Now, the building is left with soot damage and boarded-up windows.<\/p>\n
The building houses Snitz Creek Restaurant and Brewery, Ancestor Coffeehouse and Creperie, Leeds Cyclery and a single-unit apartment.<\/p>\n
Rick Stammel says the fire spread quickly through the building, and there is still a lot of work ahead to determine the next steps.<\/p>\n
“We are going to be bringing in a specialty company to evaluate the equipment and to determine whether or not it’s safe to use and what level of cleaning needs to be done,” said Stammel.<\/p>\n
