Post Office Fire Disrupts Liberty Center

Fire­fight­ers rushed out Thurs­day morn­ing to a fire at the Lib­erty Cen­ter Post Office. The first call came in from a passerby just after 5am yes­ter­day, when that per­son said they saw a glow in the front win­dow of the build­ing on East Street. The fire was found in the fur­nace area of the build­ing, which is owned by the Masonic Lodge, and in addi­tion to the post office, also houses the Lib­erty Press. Nobody was hurt, and so far, the exact cause is still under inves­ti­ga­tion. Until things get back to nor­mal in Lib­erty Cen­ter, rural route mail that passes through that facil­ity will be han­dled by the Colton Post Office.
