A fire that destroyed a Smethport business Friday has been ruled accidental.
Reports say that the fire at RJ Notary at 104 E Water Street began in a truck inside a garage, which quickly spread to the entire building. There were no injuries. Damage is estimated at $250,000.
Smethport fire chief Wayne Foltz said that there was no connection between the fire and one in the same block over Labor Day Weekend. Foltz said the location of the two fires was a coincidence.
