UPDATE: 2 Downtown Stillwater buildings damaged
By Philip Jankowski
Fire gutted two Main Street businesses this morning.
Smoke plumed out of Edward Jones Investments and James V. Murray Attorney at Law, both located at 919 S. Main St.
A fire alarm from neighboring business Judith Karman Hospice triggered the response of four fire engines at 6:31 a.m., a responding police officer said. Police blocked Main Street between West Eighth and 10th Avenues while the fire was brought under control.
Police were the first on the scene, the officer said. After seeing flames through a window, the Stillwater Fire Department were notified.
Smoke continued to pour out of the building by 8 a.m., though SFD had the fire under control. The fire charred the inside of the business, leaving extensive soot on walls that was visible from Main Street.
“Life will go on,” attorney James V. Murray said while watching the fire from a street corner across from his business.
Fire officials do not have a cause for the fire as of yet.
