FROM THE SCE.NE ED: A REAL LOSS FOR THE YORK COUNTY COMMUNITY. THE FAMILY OWNED THE SKATING CENTER I’VE BEEN AROUND FOR MANY YEARS. THE FIRE BROKE OUT AT MR. Q’S SKATE CENTER AND WEST MANCHESTER TOWN CENTER LAST NIGHT. FIRE OFFICIALS SAY IT WAS APPARENT WHEN THEY ARRIVE THE BUILDING COULD NOT BE SAVED
DAMAGE WHICH IS ESTIMATED AT $1 MILLION. FLAMES WERE SEEN SHOOTING HIGH INTO THE SKY >> IT WAS TERRIBLE. I WOULD NEVER HAVE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT. ONCE THE ROOF COLLAPSED THE FLAMES WERE EVERYWHERE. IT WAS HARD TO SEE THROUGH THE SMOKE BECAUSE THE SMOKE WAS BLOWING THAT WAY.
IT WAS COVERING A LOT OF THE FLAMES. ONCE THE ROOF COLLAPSED IT WAS HEARTBREAKING TO WATCH. FIREFIGHTERS HAVE BEENED: BATTLING HOTSPOTS ALL MORNING THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION
