Commercial business fire at 1308 E Main St 27 Apr 10

The Johnson City Fire Department responded to a commercial structure fire at 1308 E Main St, K & M Secondhand Treasures, on the evening of 27 Apr 10. The fire caused a three alarm response of five engines, one ladder, one rescue unit, two command staff vehicles, and one rehab unit for a total of twenty one personnel. The alarm time was received by the fire department at 18:38:39. The first arriving engine at 18:42:06 found heavy fire conditions in the interior of the structure. Structural compartmentalization and overhead mezzanine storage made firefighting efforts problematic. The last operating crews cleared the scene at 21:57:09. East Main Street remained closed during the duration of the incident. No injuries were sustained during the fire. The cause of the fire is still under investigation by the Johnson City Fire Department’s Fire Marshal Division.
